Professional and Occupational Regulation
(DPOR), which class of contractor license is
required for a home improvement project
valued at $15,000?
A. Class C
B. Class B
C. Class A
D. No license is required
Rationale: A Class C license is for projects from
, $1,000 to $10,000 (or $1,000 to $15,000 if the
contractor has a Class B credential). A Class B
license is for projects from $10,000 to
$120,000. A Class A license is required for
projects over $120,000. Wait, I need to correct
this. Class C: $1,000-$10,000. Class B: $10,000-
$120,000. Class A: $120,000+. For a $15,000
project, a Class B license is required. Let me
correct the answer.

contractor for improper work. The contractor's
license is active. What is the primary method
the Virginia Contractor Transaction Recovery

license fees and assessments, after a court
judgment
C. Garnishment of the contractor's bank
account
, D. Forcing the contractor to sell their business
assets
B. Payment from a fund financed by contractor
license fees and assessments, after a court
judgment
Rationale: The Contractor Transaction
Recovery Fund is designed to compensate
eligible consumers who have obtained a final
civil judgment against a licensed contractor for
faulty work or breach of contract and cannot
collect on that judgment. The fund is financed
by assessments on licensed contractors, not
general tax revenue.
3. What is the minimum age to be a qualifying
individual for a Virginia contractor's license?
A. 16
B. 18

Rationale: To be a qualifying individual (the

for the license), an applicant must be at least
18 years old.

contract for any home improvement project.
What is the minimum project value that triggers
this requirement?
A. $100
B. $500
**C. $1,000**

Rationale: Virginia law requires a written
contract for any home improvement project
with a total value of $1,000 or more. This is a
core consumer protection provision.

the Virginia Home Improvement Contractor
