Continuing education
Mississippi does not have a confirmed continuing education requirement for this license (0 hours). You still need to renew on time and pay the filing fee — see “How to renew” below.
Bond & insurance
No state license bond required at this tier. Local permits may still require one.
Workers’ compensation insurance is required.
These limits often apply to the licensed contractor/business, not an individual contractor working as an employee — confirm which applies to your situation with MSBOC.
