About each permit
Automotive Repair Shop License — Missouri state position
The Division of Professional Registration's own list of every board it administers has no automotive or mechanical repair board, so there is no state license fee for a general repair shop; the natural resources department's own guide to what an auto repair business might need lists only one conditional item, a hazardous waste transporter license that applies solely to a shop that itself transports used oil or hazardous waste. A shop crossing into dealer or salvage activity is a different matter — see the salvage business record for the body shop trap specifically — and a shop selling parts still needs the retail sales license above.
General Contractor License — Missouri state position (local licensing)
The Division of Professional Registration's own list of every board it administers includes Electrical Contractors but has no general contractor, plumbing or HVAC board, so there is no state fee for any of those three licenses. Plumbing licensing is confined by statute to cities of 15,000 people or more and to first-class counties, each running its own board of examiners and its own local code, and HVAC work is regulated only where a city chooses to license it. A contractor working across several Missouri municipalities may need a separate local license in each one for these trades. Electrical work is the exception — see the statewide electrical contractor record.
