Tennessee Contractor License Lookup
Checked 2026-11-13.
The Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors points homeowners to Verify a License, which opens the state's public search. We verified the board page and that search. Search the license number or the name and read the classification.
We are not restating the board's dollar limit for when a license is required. The board's site is the source. A city permit can still apply.
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.
