singles, duplexes and structures with no more than 5 residential units

covers only new construction and only the GENERAL CONTRACTOR. All
subcontractors must have a City of Ocean City Contractor License
If a business location requires a NJ STATE LICENSE e.g. doctor, lawyer, bank, real estate office, mortgage
company, hair/nail salon, etc. they do not require a MERCANTILE license unless they also have retail sales.
If an occupation/contractor requires a NJ STATE LICENSE e.g. master plumber, architect, HVAC, electrician,
interior designer etc. they do not require a CONTRACTOR license. But, if the contractor has an office location,
they require a MERCANTILE LICENSE for a professional office.
