Systems Contractor and Systems Cleaner Licensing
Systems Contractors and Systems Cleaners must be licensed in Pitkin County. Individuals must pass an examination and receive a score of 80% or better to be considered passing.

We have teamed up with Eagle County on the Systems Contractor test, so this test needs only to be successfully taken once in order to obtain a license in both counties.

     — If you have passed a Systems Contractor test in Eagle County after January 1, 2006, and have been given a license, all that is required is that you provide us with a copy of your Eagle County license, and complete and submit the Pitkin County application form and payment. You must also complete and submit an Affidavit verifying your lawful presence in the United States and present one of the accepted forms of identification for review by the Department. If you are submitting your application by mail, your Affidavit must be accompanied by a notarized copy of your identification.

     — If you have not passed a Systems Contractor test in Eagle County, and are not currently licensed, it is required that you become licensed by taking the test and submit it with a completed application form and payment. You must also complete and submit an Affidavit verifying your lawful presence in the United States and present one of the accepted forms of identification for review by the Department. If you are submitting your application by mail, your Affidavit must be accompanied by a notarized copy of your identification.
