§ 6744 Civil Engineering Registration Exemptions

• •You don’t need a special license to do civil engineering work on your own property or a property you lease.
• •This rule also applies to your company’s property if you’re an employee or owner.
• •But if the work could hurt people’s health or safety—like if it’s risky for workers or the public—then you do need a license.

A store owner wants to build a small parking lot behind their shop.

If the parking lot is only for their customers and doesn’t create any safety risks (like blocking fire exits or causing flooding), they don’t need an engineering license. But if the parking lot could cause problems for neighbors or workers, they’d need a licensed engineer.
