About the Registrar of Contractors

Mission
Protect the health, safety and welfare of the public through a regulatory system designed to promote quality construction by Arizona contractors.
Description
The Arizona Legislature established the Registrar of Contractors in 1931. The ROC licenses and regulates residential and commercial contractors. ROC staff investigate and work to resolve complaints against licensed contractors and unlicensed entities.
The ROC is a 90/10 agency. This means that:
Bullet Point The agency is funded by 90% of its licensing fees
Bullet Point The remaining 10% of licensing fees are deposited in the State General Fund
Bullet Point The agency does not receive State General Fund money
What is the Registrar's Residential Recovery Fund?
In 1981, the Legislature established the Residential Contractors’ Recovery Fund as a function within the ROC. Statute requires residential contractors provide $200,000 for consumer protection. This protection may be established by (a) furnishing a $200,000 surety bond or cash deposit, or (b) paying the required assessment to participate in the Recovery Fund. Like a surety bond or cash deposit, the Recovery Fund reimburses homeowners for poor workmanship or non-performance by a licensed residential contractor.
