Mississippi Contractor License: Requirements, Cost and Exams

Mississippi contractor licensing runs through the Mississippi State Board of Contractors (MSBOC). Commercial contractors and subcontractors need a Certificate of Responsibility for any commercial job of $50,000 or more, including equipment installation.

Requirements checked against the Mississippi State Board of Contractors (MSBOC) published requirements on September 29, 2026.

On the residential side, new home construction over $50,000 requires a residential builder license, and remodeling or roofing work over $10,000 requires its own license. Every licensed company operates through a qualifying party, the tested individual attached to the company's license.

Mississippi requires a Qualifying Agent for all licensed contractor entities.

Mississippi requires an MSBOC license for commercial, industrial, or public work of 50,000 dollars or more, for new homes over 50,000 dollars (Residential Builder), and for remodeling over 10,000 dollars (Residential Remodeler). The Mississippi State Board of Contractors issues the license. The company is qualified by a qualifying party, an owner, officer, or responsible managing employee meeting MSBOC's requirements.

Who must hold the license

The threshold that triggers licensure at all

Under Mississippi Code 31-3-1, in the MSBOC commercial law book, the licensing threshold for commercial, industrial, or public work is 50,000 dollars or more, with fire protection systems set separately at 5,000 dollars on public projects and 10,000 dollars on private projects (MSBOC commercial law book). On the residential side, a Residential Builder license is required to build a new home valued at more than 50,000 dollars, and a Residential Remodeler license is required for remodeling work of more than 10,000 dollars (Mississippi State Board of Contractors classifications page). Below these dollar thresholds, work may still fall under local city or county permitting, so a Mississippi job under these figures should not be treated as fully exempt without checking the local jurisdiction.

License classes

Classifications and monetary tiers

Commercial licensing runs through six major classifications: Building Construction (commercial and residential structures, additions, alterations, renovations, and earthwork), Electrical, Highway Street and Bridge Construction, Heavy Construction (water, sewer, and gas pipelines, excavation, grading, paving, and concrete), Mechanical (heating, cooling, refrigeration, plumbing, piping, and ductwork), and Municipal and Public Works. Beyond those, MSBOC issues specialty classifications for narrower trades such as masonry, roofing, drywall, and process piping, plus a catch-all Limited Specialty Services classification for any scope of work exceeding 50,000 dollars that is not defined under another classification; no exam is required for that catch-all classification (Mississippi State Board of Contractors classifications page).

On the residential side there are nine license types: Residential Builder, Residential Remodeler, Residential Roofer, Residential Electrical, Residential HVAC, Residential Plumbing, Residential Mechanical (this one requires passing two separate trade tests), Residential Construction Manager, and Residential Solar. Residential Builder is capped to structures of 50 or fewer families and no more than 3 floors, and a Residential Builder may also take on commercial work provided the job does not exceed 7,500 square feet and 3 floors in height (Mississippi State Board of Contractors classifications page).

A flat dollar ceiling tied to each license, of the kind used in Tennessee, is not stated in the board materials reviewed for this page; instead, the Board sets and can adjust the scope of work a given classification covers. Some third-party guides describe a tiered Class A, B, C, and D dollar-limit system for Mississippi. That structure is not stated in the board materials reviewed for this page; anyone who has seen it described elsewhere should confirm directly with MSBOC before relying on it.

The qualifier rule

Qualifying the company, and how many companies one qualifier can qualify

Mississippi licenses the company through a qualifying party, who must be an owner, officer, or a responsible managing employee with W-2 or pay-stub proof of employment, and who must meet all testing or reciprocal requirements of MSBOC. A qualifying party may serve up to three separate entities before needing to appear before the Board and receive special permission to add a fourth. A company may also have more than one qualifying party at once, with different qualifiers assigned to different classifications (Mississippi State Board of Contractors FAQ and Qualifying Party pages).

Replacement rules and deadlines when a qualifier leaves

If a qualifying party disassociates, the owner, a partner, an officer, or the departing qualifier must notify MSBOC in writing, by letter or fax, immediately. The company then has 90 days from the date of disassociation to file a replacement using the Application to Change or Add Qualifying Party (Mississippi State Board of Contractors Qualifying Party page). Missing that 90-day window triggers a hearing notice requiring the company to appear before the Board and show cause why its Certificate of Responsibility should not be suspended or revoked. If the license covers multiple classifications and the departed qualifier only qualified one of them, the company can keep operating under its remaining classifications, but the classification tied to the departed qualifier is removed on the hearing date unless a replacement was filed in time.

Exams

Exam requirements and current vendor

PSI is the current exam vendor; all exams are administered by PSI and are open book (Mississippi State Board of Contractors testing page). Every applicant, in every classification, must pass the Mississippi Law and Business Management exam, and most commercial classifications also require a separate trade exam specific to that classification (Mississippi State Board of Contractors testing page). One source describes the plumbing exam as two sections, a 50-question Business and Law section and a 70-question trade section, each needing a 70 percent score to pass. The PSI candidate bulletin instead describes these as two separate exams: the universal 50-question Law and Business exam, and a distinct 70-question specialty Plumbing trade exam, not one exam with two sections.

NASCLA acceptance, and exactly what it covers

Mississippi accepts the NASCLA Accredited Examination for Commercial General Building in place of its own Building Construction trade exam, and separately accepts the NASCLA Accredited Electrical Examination in place of its own Master Electrical trade exam (Mississippi State Board of Contractors testing page). Mississippi is also listed on NASCLA's own participating agency page for the Commercial General Building exam (NASCLA). Either NASCLA route only replaces the trade exam; the Mississippi Law and Business Management exam is still required of every applicant regardless.

Testing and exams

PSI is the sole exam vendor for MSBOC, and every exam below is scheduled the same way: through PSI's website at the PSI Mississippi contractor exam portal (internet registration, available 24 hours a day), or by phone to a PSI registrar at 855-557-0619. The Board first approves a candidate's eligibility and tells PSI which exam or exams that candidate is cleared for; PSI then emails a confirmation notice and the candidate books a seat. The Board, not PSI, decides which tests a given applicant must take, so any question about which exam to sit should go to MSBOC at 601-354-6161, not to PSI.

Mississippi Law and Business Management Examination

Every MSBOC applicant, commercial and residential, in every classification, must pass this exam; the bulletin describes it as mandatory for all contractors in Mississippi applying for commercial or residential licenses. It runs 50 questions with a 2-hour time limit, open book, with 70 percent required to pass. The content outline covers 50 items across 11 areas: Licensing 5, Estimating and Bidding 7, Lien Law 1, Financial Management 5, Tax Laws 5, Labor Laws 5, Project Management 5, Contracts 6, Business Organization 2, Risk Management 4, Environmental and Safety 5. Only one approved reference is listed for this exam: the NASCLA Contractors Guide to Business, Law and Project Management, Mississippi edition, 5th or 6th edition (effective October 1, 2023, only the 6th edition is referenced), available through NASCLA or the book stores named below.

Building Construction trade exam (the GC trade test)

This is the trade exam tied to the Building Construction commercial classification. Mississippi offers a choice of two versions, and the bulletin tells candidates to compare them before choosing.

Option A, MSBOC's own state-specific exam, runs 80 questions with a 3-hour time limit, open book, 70 percent required to pass. The content outline covers 80 items across 11 areas: Site work 6, Concrete 12, Masonry 6, Metals 10, Carpentry 7, Thermal and Moisture Protection 7, Doors and Windows 3, Finishes 3, Safety 8, General Code Plan Reading and Estimating 15, Mississippi One Call 3. Approved references: International Building Code 2021 (ICC); Code of Federal Regulations 29 CFR Part 1926 OSHA with latest amendments, or PSI's own OSHA Excerpts version sold through PSI Online Store; Technical Digest No 9, Handling and Erection of Steel Joists and Joist Girders, 4th edition 2025 (Steel Joist Institute); Carpentry and Building Construction, 2010 or 2016 student edition (Feirer and Feirer, McGraw Hill); Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures, 15th or 16th edition 2016 (Kosmatka and Panarese, Portland Cement Association); Pipe and Excavation Contracting, 2011 (Dave Roberts, Craftsman Book Company); Roofing Construction and Estimating, 1995 (Daniel Atcheson, Craftsman Book Company); State of Mississippi Regulation of Excavation, Chapter 13 (Mississippi 811); Training and Certification of Field Personnel for Unbonded Post Tensioning, Level 1 Field Fundamentals, 3rd edition 2003 (Post Tensioning Institute); Modern Masonry, Brick Block Stone, 8th edition 2015 (Kicklighter, Goodheart Willcox); Placing Reinforcing Bars, Recommended Practices, 9th edition 2011 or later printing (Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute).

Option B, the NASCLA Accredited Examination for Commercial General Building Contractors, is accepted by Mississippi in place of the state-specific trade exam only, never in place of the Law and Business Management exam. It runs 115 questions with a 330-minute time limit (5.5 hours), open book, with a minimum passing score of 81 (about 70 percent). The content outline covers 115 items across 12 areas: General Requirements 25, Site Construction 15, Concrete 6, Masonry 4, Metals 6, Wood 5, Thermal and Moisture Protection 5, Doors Windows and Glazing 4, Finishes 5, Mechanical and Plumbing Systems 6, Electrical Systems 3, Procurement and Contracting Requirements 31. The approved reference list runs to roughly 20 titles and overlaps the state-specific list (International Building Code, OSHA 29 CFR 1926, Technical Digest No 9, Carpentry and Building Construction, Modern Masonry, Pipe and Excavation Contracting, Roofing Construction and Estimating, Placing Reinforcing Bars) plus construction management and NASCLA-specific titles including the NASCLA Contractors Guide to Business, Law and Project Management, Basic 14th edition; Construction Jobsite Management, 4th or 5th edition (Mincks and Johnston); Construction Project Management, 4th or 5th edition (Gould and Joyce); Principles and Practices of Commercial Construction, 11th edition 2024 (Andres and Smith); Green Building Fundamentals, 2nd edition (Montoya); Gypsum Construction Handbook, 7th edition; ACI 318-14 or ACI 318-19 (American Concrete Institute); SDI Manual of Construction with Steel Deck, 2016; The Contractor's Guide to Quality Concrete Construction, 4th edition 2018; the EPA's Developing Your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan guide; and ANSI/EIMA 99-A-2017, the EIFS standard. A passing NASCLA score also lands in NASCLA's National Examination Database (NASCLA exam application portal) for reuse in other NASCLA-accepting states.

The state-specific exam is the shorter sit, at 3 hours, 80 questions, and 11 book titles, for an applicant who only needs a Mississippi license; the NASCLA route can be the better choice for anyone who will also license in a second NASCLA-accepting state.

Master Electrician trade exam

This exam is tied to the Electrical commercial classification and follows the same either/or structure as Building Construction.

Option A, MSBOC's own state-specific exam, runs 80 questions with a 3-hour time limit, open book, 70 percent required to pass. The content outline covers 80 items across 14 areas: General Electrical Knowledge 6, Service Feeders and Branch Circuits 10, Grounding and Bonding 7, Conductors and Cables 10, Raceways and Boxes 7, Special Occupancies and Equipment 7, Electrical Power 6, Motors 6, Low Voltage 2, Lighting 3, Illuminated Signs 2, Fire Detection and Alarm Systems 3, Safety Information 5, Overcurrent Protection 6. Only three approved references: National Electrical Code (NEC) 2020 (NFPA); Code of Federal Regulations 29 CFR Part 1926 OSHA with latest amendments, or PSI's OSHA Excerpts; and Ugly's Electrical References, 2011, 2014, or 2017 edition (George V Hart, Jones and Bartlett).

Option B, the NASCLA Accredited Trade Examination for Electrical Contractors, runs 100 questions with a 270-minute time limit (4.5 hours), open book, 75 percent required to pass. The content outline covers 100 items across 9 areas: Project Design and Management 8, Safety 9, Electrical Theory and Principles 11, General Code Requirements 17, Wiring and Protection 17, Wiring Methods and Materials 16, General Equipment Use 13, Special Occupancies Special Equipment and Special Conditions 8, Communication Systems 1. This exam also hands candidates a physical diagram and blueprint packet at the test center, on top of the approved references: National Electrical Code or Handbook, 2020 or 2023; Code of Federal Regulations 29 CFR 1926 and 29 CFR 1910 OSHA; A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, 7th edition (PMI, 2021); ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2022 energy standard; and the NASCLA Contractors Guide to Business, Law and Project Management, Basic 14th edition.

Mechanical Contractor trade exam

This exam is tied to the Mechanical commercial classification, which bundles heating, cooling, refrigeration, piping, ductwork, and plumbing together. Mississippi does not offer a NASCLA alternative for this exam; it is MSBOC's own exam only. It runs 100 questions with a 4-hour time limit, open book, 70 percent required to pass. The content outline covers 100 items across 23 areas: Boilers and Hydronics 6, Gas Systems 10, Cleanouts 3, Plumbing Fixtures and Equipment 5, Water Heaters 2, Piping Valves and Controls 5, Sheet Metal and Ducts 6, Water Supply 5, Hangers and Supports 4, Drain Waste and Vent 5, Backflow 2, Traps and Interceptors 4, Developed Length 3, Isometric Analysis 8, Safety 4, Joints and Connections 3, General Plumbing Regulations 3, Fire Sprinklers 4, Refrigerants and Refrigeration 4, Heating and Cooling Principles 4, Load Calculations 5, Testing Adjusting and Balancing 1, HVAC Equipment 4. Approved references: Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, 20th, 21st, or 22nd edition (Althouse, Turnquist, Bracciano, Goodheart Willcox); Code of Federal Regulations 29 CFR Part 1926 OSHA or PSI's Excerpts; International Fuel Gas Code 2021 (ICC); HVAC Duct Construction Standards, Metal and Flexible, 3rd edition 2005 (SMACNA); Manual N, Load Calculation for Small Commercial Buildings, 5th edition 2008 (ACCA); International Mechanical Code 2021 (ICC); International Plumbing Code 2021 (ICC); NFPA 58, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code; NFPA 13, Installation of Sprinkler Systems, 2019; ACCA Ductulator; Manual D, 4th edition 2016 (ACCA); Pipefitters Handbook, 3rd edition 1967 (Forrest R Lindsey, Industrial Press). Starting August 1, 2026, the 20th and 21st editions of Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning will no longer be accepted as a reference; only the 22nd edition will be accepted from that date forward.

MSBOC also runs a separate, narrower specialty exam simply called Plumbing (unlimited commercial and residential plumbing, not including fuel gas or boiler systems), distinct from the Mechanical Contractor exam above. It runs 70 questions with a 3-hour time limit, open book, 70 percent required to pass. The 50-question piece referenced by some sources is the universal Law and Business Management exam described above, and the 70-question piece is this specialty Plumbing exam; it is not a section of the Mechanical Contractor exam.

Tabbing, highlighting, and security rules (apply the same way to every PSI exam above)

Every exam above is open book. Reference materials may be highlighted, underlined, and/or indexed (tabbed) before the exam, but may not be written in during the exam. Tabs must be permanent; temporary tabs such as Post-it notes are not allowed and must be removed before the exam begins. Anyone caught writing in a reference during the exam has it confiscated and is reported to the Board. No loose or attached extra papers are allowed with an approved reference, only the reference itself. Candidates bring their own references; PSI does not supply them, with the single exception of the NASCLA Electrical exam, where PSI hands out a physical diagram and blueprint packet at the test center on top of whatever references the candidate brings. A silent, non-printing, non-programmable calculator with no alphabet keyboard is allowed at every exam. Check-in requires one non-expired, signature- and photo-bearing ID that exactly matches the name on the application (state driver's license, state ID card, US passport, US military ID, US alien registration card, or Canadian government ID), and candidates should arrive 30 minutes early.

Where to test

The only in-state PSI center named in the bulletin is in Jackson, at 2679 Crane Ridge Dr, Suite B, Jackson, MS 39216. The bulletin also names regional out-of-state options: Louisiana (Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Shreveport) and Alabama (Huntsville, Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile). Candidates may also test at any other PSI center nationwide once registered and paid, by entering a zip code on PSI's site to see the closest available sites. The bulletin does not mention any remote or online proctoring option for Mississippi contractor exams; all testing is in person, by computer, at a PSI test center.

Retake rules and fees

A new applicant has 6 months from the date the Board declares them eligible to take the required exam(s). Within that 6-month window, a candidate who fails may retest an unlimited number of times, paying the fee again each time. If the candidate has not passed within 6 months, they must reapply with the Board for a new eligibility period. PSI's own registration fee, separate from MSBOC's application fee described elsewhere on this page, is 120 dollars for one exam portion or 240 dollars for two exam portions, per registration, whether it is a first attempt or a retake. Fees are not refundable or transferable. Cancelling or rescheduling without forfeiting the fee requires notice at least 2 days before the scheduled date; a missed appointment or late cancellation forfeits the fee and requires re-registering. PSI holds unused exam funds on file for one year from the original registration date, so a candidate can reschedule without paying again within that year.

Experience

Experience requirements

A years-of-experience requirement for commercial classifications is not stated in the board materials reviewed for this page; the three-project and reference-letter proof serves as the experience gate.

Bond and insurance

Financial requirements

A commercial applicant needs a minimum net worth of 50,000 dollars for a major classification or 20,000 dollars for a specialty classification, shown on a Reviewed or Audited financial statement prepared by a CPA. A self-prepared statement or a Compilation is not accepted (MSBOC Commercial Application, 04/2026). According to the Mississippi State Board of Contractors' residential and commercial applications (RESIDENTIAL-APPLICATION-updated-4-2026.pdf), the financial requirement is as follows: commercial net worth of 50,000 dollars (major classification) or 20,000 dollars (specialty) on a CPA reviewed or audited statement; a residential net worth test is not stated in the board materials reviewed for this page; commercial general liability insurance of 300,000 dollars per occurrence and 600,000 dollars aggregate; workers' compensation required at 5 or more employees; a bond requirement is not stated in the board materials reviewed for this page.

General liability insurance of at least 300,000 dollars per occurrence and 600,000 dollars aggregate is required for commercial applicants, with MSBOC named as certificate holder for cancellation notices (checked September 29, 2026). Residential license holders have no minimum coverage requirement stated on MSBOC's FAQ page. Workers' compensation coverage is required once a contractor has 5 or more employees, under both MSBOC's own materials and Mississippi Code Section 71-3-5.

Fees and timeline

Application and processing timelines

An applicant has 180 days total from submission to complete the application process, after which an incomplete application is destroyed (Mississippi State Board of Contractors licenses page). Applications are processed weekly by the Board. The Board's application information page describes issuance as taking approximately 5 working days after exam passage and Board approval, while other Board pages describe a 7-to-10-working-day turnaround for the same step; applicants should confirm current processing time directly with MSBOC. A license, once issued, is valid for one year and must be renewed annually, renewable online. The commercial application fee is 400 dollars and the residential application fee is 50 dollars, both non-refundable and payable only by check or money order, not cash. According to the Mississippi State Board of Contractors fee schedule (Fee-Schedule-Effective-1-1-16-accessible.pdf), the renewal fees are 400 dollars commercial and 100 dollars residential, on an annual renewal cycle, renewable online.

Reciprocity

Reciprocity and exam waivers

MSBOC reciprocity always waives trade exams only, never the Mississippi Law and Business Management exam, which every reciprocity applicant still must pass. According to MSBOC's own reciprocity page, the agreements and what each covers are as follows. Alabama's General Contractors Board waives all exams except Mechanical and Plumbing, and HVAC may be waived; it requires a current license, a passed exam, and no discipline in the past year. Alabama's Electrical Board, Heating and Air Board, Home Builders Licensure Board, and Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board each have their own separate, narrower agreements, with the Plumbers and Gas Fitters agreement waiving the Commercial Plumbing exam only. Arkansas waives all exams except Mechanical trades and Electrical work, with a one-year clean discipline record required. California waives Commercial Building Construction only, with a five-year clean discipline record required, the strictest look-back period of any partner state. Florida waives General or Residential Building Construction, requiring a license held for at least one year and a five-year clean discipline record. Georgia requires a license held for at least one year and a three-year clean discipline record. North Carolina has two separate agreements: one through its Electrical Contractors Board, waiving Electrical and Alarm Systems exams only, and a broader one through its State Licensing Board for General Contractors, waiving eight classifications including Building Construction and Roofing, with a three-year clean discipline record. Ohio waives Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, and Refrigeration exams, with a one-year clean discipline record. South Carolina has two agreements: its Contractors Licensing Board waives Building and Electrical exams only, and its Residential Builders Commission waives Residential Builder, Electrical, HVAC, and Plumbing exams with a three-year clean discipline record. Tennessee remains the broadest, waiving all exams including Mechanical and Plumbing, with a one-year clean discipline record.

Louisiana is a distinct case: MSBOC's own reciprocity page states directly that "the Mississippi State Board of Contractors and the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors no longer maintain a reciprocity agreement," but MSBOC will still recognize proof of a passing Louisiana exam score and waive the otherwise required Mississippi trade exam for a qualifying applicant, with the same all-exams-except-Mechanical waiver pattern as before. This relationship is better described as exam score recognition rather than reciprocity, since MSBOC's own materials now avoid the word "reciprocity" for Louisiana specifically.

Trades

Trades overlay

Mississippi does not run separate state boards for electrical, plumbing, or HVAC the way Georgia or Florida do. MSBOC itself licenses all three: Electrical is one of the six major commercial classifications, Mechanical covers heating, cooling, refrigeration, plumbing, piping, and ductwork as another major classification, and Residential Electrical, Residential HVAC, and Residential Plumbing are separate residential classifications MSBOC also issues (Mississippi State Board of Contractors classifications page). An applicant who only wants an electrical or mechanical trade license in Mississippi goes through the exact same MSBOC front door and the same PSI testing pipeline as a general or commercial applicant, not a different state agency.

The board

Who licenses general contractors

The Mississippi State Board of Contractors (MSBOC) licenses general, commercial, and residential contractors statewide. It is a 10-member board appointed by the Governor (Mississippi state website agency page, Mississippi State Board of Contractors). Unlike several neighboring states, MSBOC also licenses the electrical and mechanical trades directly under its own classifications rather than routing them to a separate state board (Mississippi State Board of Contractors classifications page). See the trades overlay section below for more on this.
