New Jersey Contractor License Classifications

New Jersey's 11 seeded classifications sit across one registration, three state boards and one verified municipal example — because there is no state contractor licence to hang them on. Consumer Affairs registers home improvement businesses (a registration, not a competency licence); the Board of Master Plumbers runs master → journeyman → apprentice with the permit signature as the enforcement hook; the Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors pairs the five-year contractor with three individual rungs — and no "submaster"; the HVAC Contractors board licenses only the master. There is no GC licence, no roofer licence and no HVACR journeyperson licence — those absences are seeded as absences.

01 What is actually classified here

HIC: registration, no floor|PLUMBING: master → journeyman → apprentice|ELECTRICAL: contractor + 3 individual rungs|HVACR: master only|LOCAL: Newark BC

No state umbrella exists — each credential belongs to its own board chapter: N.J.A.C. 13:45A-17 (HIC), 13:32 (plumbing), 13:31 (electrical), 13:32A (HVACR) — plus Newark's municipal licence. Nothing aggregates them, and nothing licenses general building work. S-NJ-AC-1345A-17
Every state credential here binds at ANY price — the HIC registration has no dollar floor and the three boards' trades are licensed before offering the work at all; only the tiered security ladder ($10k/$25k/$50k) and the $500 contract-writing trigger introduce money. S-NJ-AC-1345A-17 S-NJ-SA-56-8-142
Competency and contracting are split — plumbing and electrical license the PERSON (master/journeyman/apprentice) while the HIC registration covers the BUSINESS; the plumbing permit signature and the separate electrical business permit are where the two layers meet. S-NJ-AC-13-32 S-NJ-AC-13-31
Four verified absences — no statewide general contractor licence, no roofer licence, no submaster electrician, no separate HVACR journeyperson or technician credential — each confidence reported, assembled from the boards' credential surfaces rather than recited by one page.

EXCLUSIONS in the same subsection: 'does not include the construction of a new residence', and 'The term does not apply to any work required to be performed by a licensed master plumber, licensed master heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration contractor, or licensed electrical contractor'. The registration runs on the annual April 1 – March 31 year ($110/$90) with the tiered $10,000/$25,000/$50,000 security (N.J.S.A. 56:8-142(f)-(g)) and CGL $500,000 per occurrence + workers' compensation (56:8-142(a)).	N.J.S.A. 56:8-136 et seq. (Contractors' Registration Act); N.J.A.C. 13:45A-17	S-NJ-AC-1345A-17

A registration, not a competency licence

The HIC credential is the statewide business permission for residential improvement work — $110 initial, $90 annual on the April 1 – March 31 year, tiered security of $10,000 / $25,000 / $50,000 in bond, irrevocable letter of credit or other acceptable form, CGL $500,000 per occurrence plus workers' compensation, and a written contract over $500 carrying the registration number. New Jersey deliberately does not test competency on this credential — the three boards do that for their own trades. S-NJ-AC-1345A-17 S-NJ-SA-56-8-142

The master signs, the rest register under the master

The master plumber licence needs a four-year apprenticeship plus one New Jersey journeyman year of at least 1,200 hands-on hours (or the degree route), $160 biennial and five CE credits per period. Journeyman and apprentice are REGISTRATIONS under the master — not independent licences — and every plumbing permit "shall be signed by a licensed master plumber" in all circumstances (N.J.A.C. 13:32-2.4). The plumbing business credential is the entity half: a registered bona fide representative who must themselves hold the master licence. S-NJ-AC-13-32 S-NJ-AC-13-32

Five years in, two permits, three rungs — and no submaster

The electrical contractor licence needs five years in electrical construction and installation, $225 triennial, a SEPARATE triennial business permit ($150/$100/$50, $150 renewal) and 34 CE credits per period including the 10-hour in-person NEC course. Individuals hold the Class A journeyman electrician (8,000 practical + 576 classroom hours, $150 triennial, 15 CE credits), Class B wireman and Class A apprentice credentials. The historical "submaster electrician" title does not appear on the board's current surface — the Class A journeyman is the rung, seeded as a verified absence so no page resurrects the old name.

One credential, one withheld number

The Master HVACR Contractor licence requires five years in the HVACR contracting business (four-year apprenticeship or approved training plus one year as an HVACR journeyperson, or the rule's degree pathways), costs $160 biennial with five CE credits, and for entities the individual acting as master must be the bona fide representative behind a pressure seal. The circulating "$7,500 or more" contract threshold is not seeded: N.J.A.C. 13:32A as machine-read carries no dollar threshold, and the statute page that might carry it was unreadable — withheld under CONFLICT-NJ-001. The HVACR "journeyperson" inside 13:32A-1.2 is a supervised-worker definition, not a licence. S-NJ-AC-13-32A S-NJ-AC-13-32A S-NJ-AC-13-32A

The municipal tier, verified

Newark's Building Contractor licence is the one local credential whose fee text machine-read this session: "Price: $200+" plus a $20 police-record check. Jersey City and Passaic regimes were identified but their fee text did not extract (research §O.9); every other municipality stays LOCAL_AUTHORITY_REQUIRED — call the construction official, because the UCC routes non-state-licensed contractors to local licensing anyway.

The withheld row (the CONFLICT-UT-003 pattern): the licence duty publishes, the threshold does not, and the conflict row sits beside it. Retires when an official carrier publishes the operative text.
nj:master-hvacr — separate hvacr journeyperson or technician credential (N.J.A.C. 13:32A-1.2; 13:32A-5.3; 13:32A-6.1) S-NJ-AC-13-32A
home-addition — no statewide gc credential plus hic and local layer (N.J.A.C. 13:45A-17; 5:23; newarknj.gov) S-NJ-AC-1345A-17
Assembled, never recited — the same `reported` confidence as the absence requirement it rests on (REQ-NJ-NO-GC-001).
roof-replacement — no roofer licence hic plus permit (N.J.A.C. 13:45A-17.2; 5:23-2.14(a)) S-NJ-AC-1345A-17
Stated as an OBSERVED absence — no page says 'roofers are not licensed' verbatim, so the confidence stays `reported` and the substitute stack is published instead of a phantom licence.

nj:hic — residential home improvement at any price (N.J.A.C. 13:45A-17.2) S-NJ-AC-1345A-17
bathroom-remodel — ucc permit through municipal official (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.14(a); 5:23-2.15) S-NJ-AC-5-23-2-14
nj:newark-building-contractor — municipal contractor licence where one exists (City of Newark, Construction Department) S-NJ-NEWARK-BC
The one verified municipal licence — evidence that 'no state GC licence' never means 'no licence'. Fee is a published FLOOR ('Price: $200+'), kept verbatim.

The statute side (56:8-137) rests on search-indexed text because Justia 403'd; the RULE's parallel exclusion (13:45A-17.2) is machine-read, so the exclusion itself is confirmed even though one carrier was blocked.
minor-work — single family homeowner own dwelling (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.15(b)) S-NJ-AC-5-23-2-15
The owner's lane is REAL in New Jersey — but narrower than a blanket 'owners can do anything': the exception covers the licence/registration duties for a SINGLE-FAMILY dwelling, and the permit duty is untouched.
nj:hic — work required of licensed master plumber master hvacr or electrical contractor (N.J.A.C. 13:45A-17.2; 5:23-2.15) S-NJ-AC-1345A-17
Confidence `reported` and assertionType D_interpretation_ours: the two literal texts are seeded verbatim on both sides, and the reconciling reading is labelled as OURS. A reader who reads 13:45A-17.2 alone could plausibly read the exclusion more broadly — that is exactly why the row exists.

These limits feed the deterministic rules (NJ-NO-STATE-GC, NJ-HIC-REGISTRATION, NJ-HIC-SECURITY, NJ-HIC-INSURANCE, NJ-HIC-CONTRACT, NJ-MASTER-PLUMBER, NJ-ELECTRICAL-CONTRACTOR, NJ-HVACR-CONTRACTOR, NJ-UCC-PERMIT, NJ-OWNER-BUILDER, NJ-LOCAL-LICENSING, NJ-LP-GAS) that project pages evaluate — missing facts return NOT_DETERMINED, never a forced answer.
