What should a contractor do if they need to change their business address as a licensed Home Improvement contractor?

When a licensed Home Improvement contractor changes their business address, it is essential to file a formal request with the Home Improvement Commission. This is because the commission is responsible for regulating home improvement contractors in Maryland, and maintaining accurate records is crucial for compliance with licensing laws.

Filing a formal request ensures that all pertinent information regarding the contractor's licensing status, business location, and contact details are updated in the commission's records. This helps prevent any potential legal issues and ensures continuous communication between the contractor and the regulatory body.

While notifying the client base, updating the company website, and posting a public notice are all good practices for ensuring that clients and the public are informed of the change, they do not fulfill the legal requirement to inform the Home Improvement Commission. Therefore, they are complementary actions that should follow the formal request.
