What constitutes "unlicensed activity" in Arizona?

• A. Performing contracting work with a probationary license
• B. Performing contracting work without holding the required contractor's license
• C. Completing home improvement projects as a homeowner
• D. Engaging in contracting while awaiting license approval

Answer: (B)

In Arizona, "unlicensed activity" refers to performing contracting work without holding the required contractor's license. This means that any individual or entity that takes on tasks classified as contracting, which typically involve any form of construction, alteration, repair, or improvement of structures must be properly licensed. This regulation is in place to ensure that all contractors meet necessary standards and regulations, providing protection for consumers as well as maintaining industry integrity. Options involving a probationary license, completing projects as a homeowner, or engaging in work while awaiting license approval do not fall under the definition of unlicensed activity. A probationary license still provides some level of authorization to engage in contracting, homeowners may work on their properties without requiring a contractor's license, and awaiting a license approval suggests that an individual is in the process of becoming licensed, rather than engaging in unlicensed work.
