Any electric, plumbing, mechanical (heating, air conditioning, refrigeration and ventilation) drainlayers, 3rd party inspectors, or blasting contractors work requires a licensed contractor. All licensed contractors are also required to be bonded and insured. This is done for the protection of the building owner contracting said work.
Any work done within these parameters, requires a permit and inspections to be performed. Permit applications must be submitted to the St. Charles County Building Code Enforcement Division before starting work.

If you have any questions concerning the application or the exam, please call the the Building Code Enforcement Division at 636-949-7345.
