How many days does a licensee have to notify the registrar if the qualifying party disassociates?

A licensee is required to notify the registrar within 15 days if the qualifying party disassociates from the business. This timeframe is crucial as it ensures that the registry maintains accurate and up-to-date records of licensed contractors and their qualifying parties. Timely notification allows the registrar to promptly update licensing information and helps protect consumers by ensuring that they are aware of who is authorized to act on behalf of the contractor.

In Arizona, maintaining an accurate record of qualifying parties is essential, as they are responsible for the business's compliance with the law and the quality of work provided. Therefore, if a qualifying party leaves, the contractor must inform the registrar swiftly to avoid any potential misunderstandings about who is legally responsible for the contractor’s operations. This requirement reinforces accountability within the contracting industry and helps uphold professional standards.
