Local Variations

State HIC registration is statewide, but local building permits may be required for chimney repair or replacement — confirm with your municipal building official before work begins.

Caveat: Connecticut HIC registration is a consumer-protection registration, not a skills license — DCP does not test ability. Hiring a registered HIC makes you eligible for up to $25,000 from the Home Improvement Guaranty Fund. Verify current registration on eLicense first.
