St. Louis

St. Louis County

Missouri has no required statewide electrical license, so licensing is local; the statewide electrical contractor license issued by the Missouri Division of Professional Registration is voluntary. St. Louis County licenses electrical contractors for the work it permits, and the City of St. Louis and some municipalities run their own permit offices. The county’s older licensed electrical contractor lists are posted only as flipbooks on a third-party site, so we have not matched these companies to a license list. Ask the company which local license covers your address and confirm it with that office.

Springfield

City of Springfield Building Development Services

Missouri has no required statewide electrical license, so licensing is local; the statewide electrical contractor license issued by the Missouri Division of Professional Registration is voluntary. In Springfield, electrical contractors are licensed by the City of Springfield through Building Development Services, which points residents to its online business license search and a phone line to confirm a contractor; it publishes no downloadable list, so we have not matched these companies to city records. Companies based in Nixa, Ozark, Republic or Strafford work under those cities’ or Greene and Christian counties’ own rules. Ask the company which local license covers your address and confirm it with that office before work starts.

Columbia

City of Columbia Community Development (Building and Site Development)

Missouri has no required statewide electrical license, so licensing is local; the statewide electrical contractor license issued by the Missouri Division of Professional Registration is voluntary. In Columbia, electrical contractors and electricians are certified by the City of Columbia’s Community Development department (Building and Site Development), which issues electrical permits; it publishes no downloadable list, so we have not matched these companies to city records. Work outside the city limits falls under Boone County or the city where the work is. Ask the company for its City of Columbia electrical certification and confirm it with the city before work starts.
