What is the maximum contract value a Tier II contractor can undertake in South Carolina?
Correct Answer
C) $200,000
Tier II contractors in South Carolina are limited to contracts not exceeding $200,000.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
SC law caps Tier II contractors at contracts not exceeding $200,000. This is a hard statutory ceiling; any project above this amount requires a higher tier license.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: $100,000
$100,000 is below the actual Tier II limit and would incorrectly restrict contractors who are legally allowed to take on projects up to $200,000.
Option B: $50,000
$50,000 is far below the Tier II ceiling and would correspond more closely to very small specialty or Tier I work thresholds, not Tier II.
Option D: $500,000
$500,000 far exceeds the Tier II maximum and is closer to the Tier III upper boundary. Choosing this option would overstate a Tier II contractor's authority.
Memory Technique
Tier II = Two zeros after $200 — '$200,000' has the same count of zeros as 'II' has Roman numeral strokes. Alternatively: 'II' looks like two $100K blocks stacked = $200K.
