Minnesota Contractor License Lookup
Checked 2026-11-13.
Minnesota's Department of Labor and Industry publishes a license and registration lookup and a page for residential contractors, remodelers, and roofers. Search the license number or the name and read the status. The department also points to a local inspector lookup, which is separate from the license.
We are not restating who is exempt. The department's residential contractor page is the source for that.
Verify this with the board or the city before you hire. Rules change, and a city or county can require its own license on top of a state record. This is general information, not legal advice.
Common questions
- Where do I look up a Minnesota remodeler?
- Use the Department of Labor and Industry license and registration lookup.
- Does a Minnesota license replace the local inspector?
- No. The department lists local inspector lookup separately. The city or county still handles the permit and inspections.
