STATE L&I RegistrationRequired for all
Framing contractors operating in Spokane, Washington, must navigate a two-tiered regulatory environment. At the state level, you are required to maintain a valid contractor registration with the Department of Labor & Industries (L&I), which includes proof of a surety bond and liability insurance. This registration is the foundation of your legal ability to contract for work within the state.
At the local level, you must comply with the specific building codes enforced by the City of Spokane or Spokane County. This involves obtaining necessary building permits for structural work and ensuring that all framing meets the current Washington State Building Code standards. Failure to secure permits or pass required inspections can lead to stop-work orders and significant project delays.
