Good to know: Utah licenses general/building contractors at the state level through DOPL (classifications include B100 General Building, E100 General Engineering, R100 General Residential). DOPL moved from a standalone dopl.utah.gov domain to commerce.utah.gov/dopl (old links 301-redirect). Renewal is biennial via the My License One online portal; renewals cannot be completed on a mobile device (desktop/laptop required). Renewal also requires an active UtahID, current general liability insurance listing DOPL as certificate holder, workers' compensation coverage or waiver, and current business entity registration. No specific late/reinstatement fee amount is published on the renewal page; a separate reinstatement application applies after two years lapsed. The $128 renewal fee is the figure published on the official DOPL renewal page.
