Virginia Contractor License Lookup
Checked 2026-11-13.
Virginia's Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation publishes a license lookup, and the Board for Contractors is the board for contractor licenses. Search the license number or the name and read the class and the status.
We are not restating the class dollar limits. The board's page is the source. A local permit still applies where the locality requires one.
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.
