To ensure contractors are held accountable for all permits they have pulled – not only expired permits, IGI recommends developing a residential contractor licensing program. The license would require the payment of an annual fee and include an annual “performance review” of expired permits. If desired, DSD could also require all contractors doing work in Austin to have a background check and provide proof of insurance. Both San Antonio and Dallas stop contractors from pulling permits if contractors fail to comply with permit and inspection requirements. Building a Better and Safer Austin Together 4 Historical Overview of Contractor Registration Program Demolition Licensing and Bonding Requirements (page 8) During the stakeholder engagement process, both internal and external stakeholders expressed support for adopting a registration program for building and demolition contractors.
