DC. General Contractor License

Zitro Services LLC

Washington DC presents a unique market for general contractors, as there are no state-level licensing requirements. Instead, all contractors must hold a valid business license and register with the DC Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA), which is valid for two years. However, specific projects may require additional licenses or certifications, such as plumbing or electrical work.

Navigating the licensing process in Washington DC can be complex and time-consuming, especially for those unfamiliar with local regulations. Zitro Services LLC offers support and guidance to ensure you meet all necessary requirements and obtain the appropriate licenses for your projects. By partnering with their team, you can confidently bid on projects in this vibrant market without being held back by cumbersome licensing processes.

Getting The DC License

There is no pre-licensing education or exam required.
You must have registered your business with the District and have either an address or resident agent in DC.
You must have a general liability insurance.
The license is issued within 30 days from receipt of your application.
If you do your license renewal process with us, we continue being your resident agent.
