Under TCA 62-6, a residential contractor's license must be renewed every:
Correct Answer
B) 2 years
Tennessee residential contractor licenses must be renewed every 2 years according to TCA 62-6.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Tennessee Code Annotated 62-6 establishes a biennial (2-year) renewal cycle for residential contractor licenses. The licensee must pay the renewal fee and meet any continuing education requirements within that cycle to maintain an active license.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 1 year
Annual renewal would be administratively burdensome and is not what TCA 62-6 requires. Tennessee uses a 2-year cycle.
Option C: 4 years
A 4-year cycle would create too long a gap between verifications of licensee standing. Tennessee law does not allow this extended interval.
Option D: 3 years
A 3-year cycle is used by some professions in other states but is not the Tennessee residential contractor standard. Do not confuse with other licensing regimes.
Memory Technique
Think 'bi-cycle' — two wheels, two years. A residential contractor in Tennessee hops on a new bike every 2 years to keep riding.
