State Requirements

The Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors regulates contractor licensing throughout the state.

The CMC classification is Tennessee's Full Mechanical Contractor classification and encompasses a broad range of mechanical construction activities.

These activities may involve heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration, fuel gas systems, piping, plumbing, fire protection, sprinkler systems, and other authorized mechanical work.

Tennessee generally requires a contractor license for construction projects valued at $25,000 or more, subject to applicable classification and subcontractor requirements.

The state requires Board pre-approval before applicants take the Full Mechanical CMC trade examination.

Contractor licensing also includes applicable financial qualifications, examination requirements, insurance documentation, and business information.

Applicants seeking the CMC classification should understand the scope of work authorized under their license and the responsibilities associated with operating a mechanical contracting business.
