Check a license in Idaho
Contractors register with the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL), which also licenses electricians, plumbers and HVAC contractors. Registration is not the same as a skills exam, so check trade licenses separately.

Idaho homeowner FAQ
How do I check a contractor in Idaho?
Look up the contractor's registration through the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses. For electrical, plumbing or HVAC work, also confirm the trade license on DOPL.
Does Idaho have a general contractor license?
Idaho uses contractor registration rather than a tested general contractor license. Some cities have additional requirements, so ask your local building department too.
When should I service my furnace in Idaho?
Schedule furnace service in early fall. If wildfire smoke is a concern, ask about higher-rated filters or an air cleaner.
How can I protect pipes in an Idaho winter?
Insulate pipes in crawl spaces and on exterior walls, and drain outdoor spigots before the first freeze.
Do I need to worry about snow load?
In mountain areas, yes. Have a roofer check the roof structure and arrange snow removal during heavy winters.
