Re: Ohio licensing requirements
The state is confusing the lic. issue by "now" saying the following text only applies to commercial contractors. Some counties will still allow anyone to do residential work just by paying a registration fee.
IMHO the ORC is very clear. I hope the info I pasted helps you.
