In New York City, landscapers and contractors who perform installation work must be aware of licensing and permit requirements. The NYC Department of Buildings oversees licensing for construction and contractor work. If a landscaper you hire will be performing major installation or construction services, verify that they hold the appropriate licenses and that their work meets DOB standards.

To check whether a landscaper holds a valid license, you can contact the NYC Department of Buildings Licensing & Exams Unit at (212) 393-2259 or visit their website. All license applications and renewals are now submitted online through nyc.gov/dobnow. Licensees must also maintain current insurance as required by the city.

Before hiring, ask your landscaper whether their work requires a permit from the Department of Buildings and which specific license types apply to the services you need. Understanding these requirements upfront helps ensure the work complies with NYC building codes and protects your property.
