Arizona Contractor License Lookup

Enter the ROC license number or the business name in the search box above. You’ll see license status, classification, issue and expiration dates, any disciplinary actions, and the contractor’s recent building-permit activity across Arizona — the AZ ROC roster and live permit data in one place.

The Arizona Registrar of Contractors, or AZ ROC, is the state agency that licenses and regulates contractors. Any contractor performing work valued over $1,000 (including labor and materials) must hold an active ROC license in the correct classification. This tool searches that roster and layers on permit activity the ROC’s own portal doesn’t show.

Effectively, yes. People search “azroc” or “azroc license search” when they want to confirm an Arizona contractor is licensed and in good standing. This page does that search across 60,000+ records and adds the contractor’s permit history so you can see not just whether they’re licensed, but whether they’re actively working.

Confirm the status reads “Active,” the expiration date is in the future, and there are no disciplinary flags. Every contractor page shows all three — plus whether the name appears on the AZ ROC unlicensed-violator list.

The ROC issues licenses by class — for example “B” for general residential contracting, “A” for general engineering, and trade-specific classes for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and more. A contractor can only legally perform work within the classification(s) they hold. Each contractor page shows the exact class and its description.

Yes. License status, classification, compliance flags, and recent permit activity are free with no signup. A Plumb Intelligence account adds full permit history, the contractor’s sub-network, and estimated material spend.

The ROC roster is refreshed regularly and the building-permit activity is updated daily from jurisdictions across Arizona — so a contractor’s recent work often shows up here before a national index that refreshes Arizona less frequently.

Yes — search by business name, DBA, or license number. Name search matches against the full AZ ROC roster, so you can verify a contractor from a truck door, a quote, or a yard sign without knowing their ROC number.

Complaints are filed with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (roc.az.gov) — the ROC accepts complaints against licensed contractors within 2 years of the work (4 years for homeowners in some cases) and also investigates unlicensed contracting. Before filing, check the contractor’s page here: their license status, classification, and any existing disciplinary record are the facts the ROC will ask about.

Yes. If the AZ ROC has recorded disciplinary actions against a license, they appear on that contractor’s page, and you can separately search the unlicensed-violator list for adjudicated unlicensed-contracting cases.
