Contractors must maintain an active Electrical Contractor license and ensure their business entity is properly registered with the state.
At the local level, the City of Denton requires contractors to register their state credentials with the city’s Development Services department before pulling permits.

Failure to secure the necessary permits or pass mandatory inspections can lead to stop-work orders and potential legal penalties.
