When is Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) Registration required?
. This is a somewhat complex answer. Simply stated, anytime criterion defined by the Home Improvement Law (which is Massachusetts General Law (MGL) c.142A) is met, Home Improvement Contractor Registration is required. There are, however, several exceptions to this statement. Please refer to the DPS Web Page (www.mass.gov/dps) for additional information on this matter. On the left side of the main web page select “Home Improvement Contractor / Construction Supervisor License” and then select “Table for aid in determining necessity of HIC/CSL”. This table provides an expanded answer to this question.
