                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

CONTRACTOR PERMIT (§ 3.2-3704)

A. It is unlawful for any person, other than a registrant or licensee, to sell
bulk liming material unless the person: (i) obtains a license by completing a
contractor application form furnished or approved by the Commissioner and pays
the $50 annual fee required to be a contractor; (ii) is an employee or agent of
a contractor who holds a valid permit, in which case no permit is required and
no fee is due from the employee or agent; or (iii) holds a valid permit to be a
contractor-applicator pursuant to subsection A of &#xA7; 3.2-3608, or is an
employee or agent of person holding a valid permit to be a contractor-applicator
pursuant to subsection A of &#xA7; 3.2-3608, in which case no additional permit
is required and no additional fee is due. Each permit to do business as a
contractor shall expire on June 30 of the permitting year for which the
Commissioner issued the permit. Every such permit shall be valid through July 31
of the next permitting year or until issuance of the renewal permit, whichever
occurs first, if the holder of the permit has filed a renewal application with
the Commissioner on or before June 30 of the permitting year for which the
Commissioner issued the permit.

B. The Commissioner shall grant to a contractor who has failed to obtain a
contractor&#8217;s permit to do business during the permitting year a grace
period of 15 working days, starting upon issuance of notification, to obtain the
permit without the payment of a late fee. If the contractor fails to obtain a
permit by the 15th day of the grace period, the contractor shall pay to the
Commissioner a $50 late fee in addition to the permit fee, and the Commissioner
shall cause a stop sale, use, removal or seizure order to be issued on any
liming material the contractor sells until the contractor obtains the required
permit.

C. The contractor shall guarantee the consumer that the contractor shall comply
with all provisions of this chapter that apply to the sale and delivery of bulk
liming material.
