In Minnesota, everyone engaged in the business of interior plumbing installations must be licensed plumbers or registered apprentices.
No person, firm or corporation can plan or install, nor install plumbing in connection with the dealing in and selling of plumbing material and supplies unless -- at all times -- a plumbing contractor, a licensed master plumber or restricted master plumber, who is responsible for proper installation, oversees the plumbing work.

Do you perform septic system work?
Contractors who install subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS) are licensed by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).
Contractors licensed by MPCA don't need to file a pipe-laying bond with us. They will file their bond with MPCA only.
If you are licensed by MPCA, do not renew your bond with us. Submit your $25,000 SSTS bond to MPCA.

Have they been involved in lawsuits or criminal charges?
