Any person who owns or operates a home improvement business without a license or after a license is suspended/revoked is guilty of a misdemeanor and may be prosecuted criminally and subject to up to 6 months imprisonment and/or $1,000 in fines. Each violation is a separate offense. In addition, such a person may be prosecuted civilly and faces fines of up to $100 per day for engaging in unlicensed activity or aiding and abetting the operation of an unlicensed person or business. Finally, DCA can padlock (close down) and confiscate the tools and truck.

There are several issues when penalty is considered.

For home improvement if done you will get penality when you try to sell the property when work done without premission.

If found without permission the penailty is fees get doubled for not getting the permit of the license.

Viotating building codes and public safety rules in construction without license also bears heavy penalty.

Consulting home rennovation services in glenmoor e will tell you lots in this case regarding the penalties.
