91C.1 - DEFINITION -- EXEMPTION.
91C.1 DEFINITION -- EXEMPTION.
1. As used in this chapter, unless the context otherwise
requires, "contractor" means a person who engages in the business
of construction, as the term "construction" is defined in the
Iowa administrative code for purposes of the Iowa employment security
law. However, a person who earns less than two thousand dollars
annually or who performs work or has work performed on the person's
own property is not a contractor for purposes of this chapter. The
state, its boards, commissions, agencies, departments, and its
political subdivisions including school districts and other special
purpose districts, are not contractors for purposes of this chapter.
2. If a contractor's registration application shows that the
contractor is self-employed, does not pay more than two thousand
dollars annually to employ other persons in the business, and does
not work with or for other contractors in the same phases of
construction, the contractor is exempt from the fee requirements
under this chapter. Section History: Recent Form
