Contractor licensing and continuing-education proposal
Summary
The city is working up a contractor licensing or continuing-education requirement after the Black Hills Home Builders Association floated the idea. Right now anyone can get a general contractor license in Spearfish with zero training or credentials. A rollout is expected by mid-summer, and current licensees would get time to comply.
