Kentucky / DHBC regulator evidence
Kentucky specialty contractor evidence
Kentucky does not issue a statewide general contractor license. The Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction licenses specialty trades. The live Verify product already holds three business-license classes. This page cites that recorded load. It does not add a new roster.
A city or county permit is not a DHBC statewide license.
Recorded Active license rows across three classes. Not a company census and not re-extracted on 2026-10-05.
Fire credentials, manufactured housing, discipline, and local license rosters
Business-license classes, counted separately
Source: KENTUCKY_VERIFY_V1 production ky_dhbc load. Recorded production load of Active contractor-level rows. Not re-extracted on 2026-10-05. Not a company census. Official search: DHBC licensee list. Existing Verify: /verify?state=ky.
| License class | Code | Status | Recorded rows | Sample key |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contractor Electrician-Business | ELEC | Active | 3,884 | KY-DHBC:CE62402 |
| Master HVAC Contractor | HVAC | Active | 2,699 | KY-DHBC:HM06343 |
| Master Plumber | PLB | Active | 1,777 | KY-DHBC:M7396 |
The 8,360 figure adds the three recorded license-row counts. It is not a count of Kentucky companies, and it is not a count of every construction credential in the state. Master Electrician individuals, apprentices, journeymen, and inspectors are outside this load. Fire credentials and manufactured-housing credentials were not acquired for this page.
Local licenses stay local
Louisville and Lexington are search context only. This page publishes no city or county route. A municipal contractor list is not the DHBC statewide load. No open-records request was filed. The public request path is Kentucky open records.
