Frequently Asked Questions

  • It's administered by Pearson VUE for the International Code Council (ICC).

  • The exam has 80 questions.

  • Johnson County and Sedgwick County require a score of 75% or better. ICC lists each exam's official passing score in its Exam Catalog, so confirm it before test day.

  • You are allowed 240 minutes (4 hours).

  • In Johnson County, a Class C Residential Contractor license covers constructing, remodeling, repairing, and demolishing single-family or duplex residences and buildings accessory to them, and the company may self-perform framing, roofing, swimming pool construction, non-structural remodeling, and repairs on those dwellings. It does not cover HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or fire protection work. Other offices set their own scope.

  • Kansas licenses are issued by cities and counties, so requirements vary. Johnson County, for example, asks for a qualifying individual, proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and a license application. Confirm with the office where you plan to work.

  • Take the exam your licensing office names. Johnson County recognizes both 552 and KGC, so check which version your office accepts before you register.
