What is an AZ ROC license, and why does Phoenix require it?
Answered by AskBaily Editorial · Updated
Short answer
The Arizona Registrar of Contractors issues tiered licenses: Residential Class A (all trades, any value), Class B (general residential, no limit on value), Class C (trade-specific), plus KB-1 General Building, KB-2 Residential Remodeling, and 16 specialty classes. Any residential project above $1,000 in Arizona requires an ROC-licensed contractor. Bonds scale $4,250-$15,000 by class.
