Becoming a Fireplace Contractor
The City of Sioux Falls requires a "Fireplace Contractors License" of all contractors doing fireplace work within the city limits. Homeowners who live in and own single family dwellings are not required to obtain a license, but must acquire mechanical homeowner permits and would be responsible for mechanical code compliance and obtaining required inspections. Residential Building Contractors that have obtained a building permit for a project are allowed to install a fireplace for that project, but all inspections must be called to and completed by the mechanical inspection department.
You may apply for the Fireplace Contractor’s License. You will receive the City Mechanical Ordinance folder upon application for license (This folder is also available for purchase for $5.00). Upon application of the Fireplace Contractor’s License must submit a $10,000 Compliance Bond and the appropriate license fees. Please review the Fireplace Contractor’s license application (2B25006 link on the right) for more information.
