QUESTIONS
Question 1
A CR14 fencing contractor in Arizona is preparing a bid for a residential project
valued at $7,500. The homeowner requests that the contractor begin work
immediately without a written contract because they are neighbors and trust
each other. Under Arizona contractor licensing regulations, what is the
contractor's legal obligation regarding a written contract for this project?
A. The contractor may proceed without a written contract because the project
value is under the $10,000 threshold
B. The contractor must provide a written contract containing required disclosures
, because the project exceeds $1,000 in value
C. The contractor only needs a verbal agreement witnessed by two adults to
comply with Arizona law
D. The contractor is exempt from written contract requirements because
residential fencing is considered a specialty trade
Correct Answer: B
Explained Point Form Notes:
Arizona A.R.S. §32-1153 requires a written contract for residential
construction projects exceeding $1,000 in value; this is not optional,
regardless of the relationship between contractor and homeowner 8
The written contract must contain specific disclosure items including the
contractor's license number, scope of work, total price, payment schedule,
and lien warnings
Distractor A is incorrect because the $10,000 threshold does not exist for
written contract requirements in Arizona; the threshold is $1,000
