If you’re a New Jersey contractor, significant changes are here. The New Jersey 2025 Home Improvement Contractor Business (HICB) and Home Elevation Contractor (HECB) Licensing Act mandates new requirements for contractors renewing their licenses. The deadline to comply is March 31, 2025.

What’s Changing?

Effective immediately, contractors must have:

  • Compliance Bond: A compliance bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or other security is now required. The amount varies based on contract value:
  • $50,000 for contracts over $120,000 or annual contracts totaling at least $750,000.
  • $25,000 for contracts between $10,000 and $120,000 or annual contracts between $150,000 and $750,000.
  • $10,000 for contracts under $10,000 or annual contracts below $150,000.
  • Workers’ Compensation Insurance: Mandatory unless exempt under N.J.S.A. 34:15-1 et seq.
  • Commercial General Liability Insurance: Minimum coverage of $500,000 per occurrence for HICBs and $1,000,000 per occurrence for HECBs.
