Michigan Residential Builders License Practice Test

What is required in an application for a residential builder's license according to the Administrative Rules?

1. Only the business address

2. The residence address of business owners

3. Full personal resumes of all partners

4. No address is required

The correct answer is: The residence address of business owners

A residential builder's license application must include the residence address of the business owners because this information is vital for the licensing authority to verify the identity and eligibility of the individuals involved in the business. Providing the residence address helps ensure transparency and accountability in the construction industry, as the licensing authority can maintain records of who is operating under the license. It also allows for possible follow-up or contact regarding licensing issues or compliance matters. In contrast, simply requiring only the business address would not provide sufficient information about the individuals responsible for the business. Full personal resumes of all partners, while informative, are not typically a requirement for the license application and might be seen as excessive paperwork. Lastly, stating that no address is required does not meet the necessary requirements for verification and accountability in the licensing process.
