B.E.S.T. Card
B.E.S.T. TESTING IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE IN BASALT.
Demonstrate your code proficiency/competence! The B.E.S.T. program (Board of Examiners for Standardized Testing) was established in 1994. It is an intergovernmental reciprocity agreement started by local jurisdictions in the Roaring Fork Valley, which has since expanded to include the I-70 corridor, west to Rifle. The program eliminates the need for a contractor license candidate to test in each jurisdiction to qualify for a license. A B.E.S.T. cardholder need only present the card to demonstrate code comprehension. It is not a license.
B.E.S.T. testing is currently unavailable in Basalt. Other testing facilities include the City of Aspen, Snowmass Village and the Town of Carbondale.
When testing becomes available it will be available for:
- Commercial general contractor
- Residential general contractor
- Specialty licenses including:
- Mechanical
- Masonry
- Concrete
- Framing
- Roofing
When testing becomes available, you may test for a B.E.S.T. card, new or renewal, at Basalt Town Hall, located at 101 Midland Avenue. Please call 970-927-4702, at least 1 day prior to testing, to schedule a test for any business day (Monday - Friday), between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., The cost is $25. The test is open book. Code books - currently 2015 editions - available for testing are limited.
