Licensure and permit authorization are handled locally by municipal building departments (such as City of Manchester Building Department, City of Nashua Building Safety, City of Concord) rather than through statewide reciprocity. Many cities evaluate ICC certification or previous jurisdiction credentials, but registration and bonding must be satisfied individually with each municipal building authority.
