RESIDENTIAL BUILDER COMPANY LICENSE (CORPORATION

RESIDENTIAL BUILDER COMPANY LICENSE

(CORPORATION/LLC/PARTNERSHIP)

ALL RENEWALS MUST BE COMPLETED ONLINE

IMPORTANT: The Bureau of Professional Licensing (BPL) within the Department of Licensing and

Regulatory Affairs (LARA) has transitioned to online renewal of all professions it licenses and regulates.

This was done to improve customer service and provide an efficient renewal process. You must renew

your license(s) by using our online renewal system now using a debit or credit card containing a

MasterCard, Visa, or Discover logo or by electronic check (e-check). Do not send cash, check or money

order. Payments received by mail or in person will no longer be accepted and will be returned without

the renewal being processed.

1. Renew your license online now at www.michigan.gov/mylicenserenewal

. By renewing online, you

may expect to receive your renewed license by mail within 5 to 10 business days, if all renewal

requirements have been met. You must use a MasterCard, Visa or Discover credit card or e-check

to renew online. You may verify the renewal of your license if all renewal requirements are met the

following business day at

www.michigan.gov/licenselookup.

PLEASE NOTE: If you pay by electronic check it will take at least 10 business days for the

Department of Treasury to process the payment before your renewal can be processed by LARA.

2. NAME/ADDRESS CHANGES: If you are changing your business address, please note that the

physical address must be located in the state of Michigan. If you have an address change, please

make the change and renew your license at www.michigan.gov/elicense

. If you have a name

change, please submit your name change to our office at bplhelp@michigan.gov. Name changes

should be completed prior to you renewing your license online.

NOTE: Please contact the Department prior to renewing your license if:

• You are adding or deleting an assumed name (DBA – “doing business as”).

• You are changing the business structure of the licensed Maintenance & Alteration

Corporation/LLC/Partnership. You may be required to submit a new application to obtain

a license for this new company.

3. If you do not have a name or address change, go to www.michigan.gov/mylicenserenewal

to renew

your license. You will need your 10 digit license number to use this site, and you will be able to print

a copy of your transaction if you require a receipt of your renewal payment.

4. Renewal fees are not refundable.

5. PLEASE NOTE: The Qualifying Officer for your Residential Builder Corporation, Limited Liability

Company (LLC) or Partnership must renew their Individual License. If the Qualifying Officer does

not hold an active individual license, he or she must immediately submit an application to the

Licensing Division to obtain an individual license. The Qualifying Officer’s individual license is

separate from the company license as it is issued to the individual in his or her name, and the license

number will begin with 2101. If the Corporation/LLC/Partnership does not have a Qualifying Officer

with an active individual license, the Corporation/LLC/Partnership’s license may be suspended. You

may apply online for the Individual Residential Builder license or download the application

www.michigan.gov/builders.

6. INACTIVE STATUS: A licensee designated as inactive must still pay the renewal fees.

PLEASE NOTE: A licensee in “inactive status” will NOT have a paper license printed and mailed to

them. An individual in “inactive status” is UNABLE to serve as the Qualifying Officer of a

Corporation/LLC/Partnership.

7. Your current license expires on May 31, 2017. Once renewed, the new license will expire on May

31, 2020. If you fail to renew the license online, and/or fail to meet all renewal requirements by the

expiration date of your license, you cannot legally practice as a Residential Builder

Corporation/LLC/Partnership and may be subject to disciplinary action if you continue to practice.

An additional $20 late fee will be automatically added to the renewal fee if you renew within the

60 days following the license expiration date.

8. If you fail to renew on or before the 60

day following your current license expiration date, you will

not be permitted to renew online, and you will need to submit an application for relicensure.

Payments received by mail or in person will no longer be accepted and will be returned without

the renewal being processed.
