Contractors Regulations

Contractors must be registered with the City of Cleveland Heights. Since the term "contractor" includes "sub-contractors," they cannot legally work under a "homeowner" permit unless they are doing work for which a permit is not required (i.e., floor tile work under the homeowner's bathroom remodel permit). Registration protects you by requiring the contractor to provide liability insurance and a bond to ensure fiscal responsibility, the completion of your project, and code-conforming work. Homeowners need not be registered to obtain a permit to personally perform work upon their established residence, provided that it is a single, two or three-family property. They may not, however, make any connection to a public utility system (sewer or water line hook-ups).
