STATE None (Trade-specific)Varies by trade
General contracting in Keller, Texas, operates under a registration-based system rather than a city-issued general contractor license. Contractors must ensure that any specialized trade work, such as electrical or plumbing, is performed by individuals holding the appropriate Texas state-level licenses. All projects requiring structural changes or system installations must be permitted through the City of Keller Building Division.
Compliance success relies on maintaining active registration, providing current insurance documentation, and strictly adhering to the city's inspection schedule. Failure to secure permits before starting work can result in stop-work orders, fines, and potential legal liability. Always consult the latest City of Keller Code of Ordinances for specific local amendments to the International Building Codes.
