Michigan Residential Builder Exam

Michigan's Residential Builder license is issued by LARA under MCL 339.2401 et seq., required once a residential contract exceeds $600 and earned through two closed-book exam parts plus 60 hours of pre-license education. The state portion covers that trigger, the exam structure, and the rule that unlicensed builders cannot sue to collect.
