About each permit
Electrical Contractor License
Priced identically to general contracting, $175 to apply and $128 to renew on the same shared 30 November even-year date, in either a general or a residential-only classification. The one requirement specific to this trade is that whoever qualifies the license must already hold an active Utah Master Electrician license — the contractor license cannot be obtained on the strength of the business alone.
Plumbing Contractor License
The same $175-and-$128 structure as electrical contracting, in a general or residential-only classification, and the same design: the license's qualifier must already hold an active Utah Master Plumber license rather than the business qualifying on its own.
Veterinary Facility Permit — State Licensing Division Position (Utah)
There is no state premises fee listed for a veterinary practice. The Division of Professional Licensing's own current fee schedule lists only Veterinarian, Intern and Certified Veterinary Technician under veterinary licensing, with no facility line, even though it does list one for a controlled substance handler facility; the division's veterinary FAQ page and renewal cycle table likewise list no premises credential. A veterinarian's own license is $150 to apply and $83 to renew, on a two-year cycle expiring 30 September of even-numbered years.
General Contractor License
Utah licenses contractors by classification rather than by one general category, and every classification shares the identical $175-to-apply, $128-to-renew price — general engineering, general building, residential and small commercial, electrical, plumbing and HVAC all cost the same. What differs by classification is the path to qualify: a general classification needs two years or four thousand hours of paid construction experience, a twenty-five hour pre-licensure course with an extra five hours of business and law for the general classifications, a passing score on the state's business and law exam, and general liability insurance of at least a million dollars per occurrence and three million aggregate. Every license renews on the same shared date, 30 November of even-numbered years, regardless of when it was first issued.
Salon or Barbershop Establishment License — State Fee Schedule Position (Utah)
There is no state establishment fee listed for a salon or barbershop. The Division of Professional Licensing's own current fee schedule lists individual licenses under the barbering and cosmetology sections but no salon, shop or establishment line, while the same document does list a $250 establishment fee for a funeral service establishment and a $145 fee for a registered massage establishment; a $250 figure quoted elsewhere for a Utah salon matches that funeral service line. Every individual working in a salon must hold their own license — barber, cosmetologist, esthetician, nail technician or hair designer, each $60 to apply and $52 to renew on a two-year cycle expiring 30 September of odd-numbered years — and operating with an unlicensed practitioner is a violation attributed to the location.
HVAC Contractor License
The same $175-and-$128 price as Utah's other licensed trades, on the same shared renewal date. Qualifying is more flexible here than for electrical or plumbing: a candidate can pass the state's HVAC trade exam and hold a Certified Natural Gas Technician credential, show four thousand hours of qualified HVAC employment, or qualify through a qualifier who already holds an active Utah journeyman, master or residential plumber license.
