The permit holder responsible for ensuring that subcontractors are properly licensed to perform work on construction projects. Contractor licenses are issued by VDPOR (Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation) Board for Contractors. Contractor licenses consist of two parts, the class of the license, which determines what, if any restrictions are placed on the size of contracts/projects that may be performed and the classification or specialty, which determines what type of work the licensed contractor is allowed to perform.
DPOR may require remedial education, revoke or suspend a license, or impose fines on persons violating or cooperating with others in violating the state code or department regulation.
