Good to know: Arizona licenses general/building contractors at the state level through the AZ Registrar of Contractors. General Commercial classes (A, B-1, B-2) are the general/building contractor licenses; their two-year renewal license fee is $580 with no Recovery Fund assessment (renewal_fee_usd reflects this). General Residential classes (B, B-3, B-4, B-5, B-6, B-10) renew at $320 plus a mandatory $270 Residential Recovery Fund assessment ($590 total); General Dual (KA, KB-1, KB-2, KE, KO) renews at $480 + $270 = $750. So the published renewal fee depends on commercial vs. residential vs. dual classification — $580 is the General Commercial figure. A $50 late renewal fee applies. Renewal is done online via the ROC Customer Portal (azroc.my.site.com) with automatic approval on submission; mail and in-person renewal are also accepted. Fee schedule effective 7/1/2014, authorized by A.R.S. § 32-1126 and R4-9-130.
