Trades covered

'All contractors conducting or performing business in the Village of Midlothian shall have a valid annual contractor license'; web page: 'all contractors and handymen MUST license with the Village'. Two license classes: General Contractor and Trade Contractor; specific attachments for Electrical, Plumbing, Roofing; higher insurance for Demolition and Asbestos Removal contractors.

Village publishes 'Currently Licensed Contractors by Trade' list and a 'Contractors - Additional List' form (https://www.villageofmidlothian.net/DocumentCenter/View/2911/Contractors---Additional-List-PDF). Building Department fee schedule PDF does not include contractor license fees (they are on the application). Third-party surety sites list a $10,000 Midlothian bond, consistent with the form.
