Virginia Administrative Code
Title 18. Professional And Occupational Licensing
Agency 50. Board For Contractors
Chapter 22. Board for Contractors Regulations
10/6/2025

18VAC50-22-180. Status of licensee during the period prior to reinstatement.

A. When a license is reinstated, the licensee will continue to have the same license number and be assigned an expiration date two years from the previous expiration date of the license.

B. A contractor who reinstates a license shall be regarded as having been continuously licensed without interruption. Therefore:

1. The contractor will remain under the disciplinary authority of the board during this entire period and may be held accountable for activities during this period.

2. A consumer who contracts with a contractor during the period between the expiration of the license and the reinstatement of the license will not be prohibited from making a claim on the Virginia Contractor Transaction Recovery Fund.

A contractor who fails to reinstate his license will be regarded as unlicensed from the expiration date of the license forward.

Nothing in this chapter will divest the board of its authority to discipline a contractor for a violation of the law or regulations during the period of time for which the contractor was licensed.

C. A residential building energy analyst firm that reinstates its license will be regarded as having been continuously licensed without interruption and remain under the disciplinary authority of the board during this entire period and may be held accountable for its activities during this period.
