If someone had a license revoked or denied, how long must they wait before applying again?

When a contractor's license is revoked or denied in Arizona, the applicant must wait 1 year before they can reapply for a license. This waiting period is enforced to ensure that any issues that led to the revocation or denial, such as violations of regulations or failure to meet the required standards, have been adequately addressed. The intention of this policy is to promote accountability and allow individuals the time to demonstrate that they have rectified the circumstances surrounding their prior license status.

This specific timeframe helps to ensure that applicants who are serious about obtaining their license have had a sufficient period for reflection and improvement, which aligns with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors' goal of maintaining high standards within the construction industry. Other timeframes, such as 6 months, 2 years, or 3 years, do not align with the established regulations set by the AZ ROC regarding reapplication after a revocation or denial.
