Landscape Contractors Code of Conduct

Corporate License

If you operate under a corporation, LLC, or partnership, your business is required to carry a corporate license for the business under which you operate.  If you are a sole proprietor operating under an assumed or designated trade name, a corporate license is  required unless you have registered with your county Register of Deeds as a DBA (Doing Business As) and notified the NCLCLB office that you are doing business under a different name than how you are licensed.

To obtain the corporate license, there must be at least one individually licensed landscape contractor who will act as the licensee for the business.

Important: You will also need to send in with your Surety Bond (Form SB01), a Power of Attorney form which should be supplied by your surety bond agent.
