  • license: Grandview's Craftsmen's License, required of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC contractors, costs $50 per year (licenses run July 1 through June 30) and requires the contractor to hold a current license from a jurisdiction that requires an approved examination for the craft, or to show proof of an approved examination for the applicable craft; plumbing contractors must additionally post a $100 cash bond, refundable when business activity in the city ends. Roofing is not named among the crafts subject to this craftsman licensing requirement.

Permit process note
The Building Permits page states that permit applications are submitted through the city's online Permit Application Portal, that "Contractors are required to create an account prior to applying," and that "In order for the permit to be processed and issued in a timely manner, a contractor must obtain an Occupational License." Per section 6-10.3, "A single-family homeowner may apply for their own permits," though for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work the homeowner must furnish satisfactory evidence they intend to do the proposed work themselves.
