Arkansas / Contractors Licensing Board
Arkansas contractor credentials
The Contractors Licensing Board classes below come from the August 2026 Directory of Licensed Occupations. Several figures are licenses issued during a named period. The remodeler figure is a 2023 point-in-time total. An issued-during-a-period count is not an active roster, and these classes are not added into one Arkansas contractor number.
