General contracting in Montgomery, Alabama, requires a tiered approach to compliance. For larger projects, contractors must hold a state-issued license from the Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors. Regardless of project size, all contractors must register their business with the City of Montgomery and secure appropriate local business licenses based on their gross receipts.
Permitting is strictly enforced by the City of Montgomery Department of Planning and Development. Before starting any construction, contractors must submit plans and obtain the necessary building, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical permits.
