Under Alabama Title 34-8, what is the maximum monetary limit for Class C contractor licenses?
Correct Answer
B) $50,000 per project
Class C contractor licenses in Alabama are limited to projects not exceeding $50,000 per individual project.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Option B is correct. Alabama Title 34-8 establishes a tiered licensing system. Class C licenses are limited to projects with a total cost not exceeding $50,000 per individual project. This threshold determines which class of license a contractor must hold based on the size of the work they undertake.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: $150,000 per project
$150,000 per project exceeds the Class C limit. A contractor working on projects up to $150,000 would need a higher classification than Class C.
Option C: $100,000 per project
$100,000 per project is above the Class C threshold of $50,000. This figure might be confused with limits in other states or other license tiers in Alabama.
Option D: $75,000 per project
$75,000 per project is also above the $50,000 Class C cap. It is a plausible distractor but does not match the statutory limit.
Memory Technique
Class C = $50,000. Remember: 'C is the third letter = the smallest/lowest tier = $50K.' Alternatively, think of a 'C' note — in currency, C = 100, but cut it in half and you get $50K for Class C contractor work.
