Minnesota Building Permit
Technicians Association

"The goal of the MN Building Permit Technicians Association is to provide, promote, and support education, networking, professionalism, certification, and recognition of its membership."

Our members work closely with homeowners, builders, building inspectors and officials to coordinate successful building projects.

In addition, this organization stresses education for our members in order to further validate this vital role in the building process.

DLI Contractor Update

-Expired 'Q' Registrations'

Please let your members know that they do not need to notify us of a licensee whose qualifying person has an expired Q registration. We’ve granted a 90 day CE extension to all licensees whose license or Q registration expires in March, April, May, or June 2020.  This means that for individuals who are a qualifying person for a BC, CR, RR, or MI license, their Q registration will show up on our online license lookup as “expired".

-Charlie Durenberger, CCLD Director of Licensing and Enforcement
