§ 22-528. Renewal of certificate of competency.

(a)

All certificates of competency issued by the county contractors' licensing board shall be valid for a period of one calendar year commencing September 1 and terminating on August 31 of the following year. Such certificate of competency may be renewed at any time without penalty if the renewal is filed at least 30 days prior to the date of expiration of the certificate of competency. Failure to renew a certificate of competency within the 30-day period shall render the certificate inoperative, and it shall thereafter be unlawful for the person or firm to undertake, offer to undertake or purport to have the capacity to undertake any offer or job in the contracting field for which the certificate was issued, except upon payment of a delinquent fee established by resolution of the board of county commissioners.

(b)

A certificate of competency shall be renewable from year to year upon payment of a renewal fee, and without further examination, unless the contractor wishes to advance to a higher or unrelated classification. The board may refuse to renew a certificate of competency of any person if such person has violated any of the terms and provisions of this article. At each renewal period, any person or firm holding a certificate of competency as a contractor shall furnish to the board all current documents as specified in section 22-524(a)(3)a., b., c. and (a)(4) of this article, and such other information as the board may, from time to time, require.
