Plymouth Color Logo2014Contractors who work in the Plymouth City Limits will be required to register beginning April 1st.

Monday night the Plymouth City Council passes on three reading an ordinance creating a registration policy for contractors.

Contractors will be able to register online when the city begins using a new software package called “MyGov”.

The term “contractor” means any person, firm, or entity engaging for remuneration in the building or construction business, including: any new construction, remodeling, repairs, alteration, or demolition of non-residential and residential properties for which a City permit is required.

Contractor will be required to register with the City Building Commissioner and at the time of registration provide a certificate of insurance showing general liability coverage and proof of workers’ compensation insurance.  The contractor will also pay a fee of $75 for their first time enrollment and subsequent years shall pay $50 annually.

The ordinance allows the City Building Inspector to refuse a contractor if they have refused to comply with the Building Code or other ordinances after being notified of such.
