Alabama Licensing & Compliance
What luxury hardscaping & pool companies in Alabama need to know before and after deploying AI operations.
Licensing Body
Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors
License Required
Alabama General Contractor License for projects over $50,000
Alabama Licensing Board requires general contractor licensure for projects exceeding $50,000 — most luxury pool installations qualify. Jefferson County (Birmingham) and Baldwin County (Gulf Coast) enforce different permitting processes. Alabama's Home Builders Licensure Act covers residential pool construction under the general contractor umbrella rather than a separate pool contractor designation.
