Notes
Maryland does not require a statewide occupational license for carpenters. Home improvement contractors must be licensed by the Maryland Home Improvement Commission (https://www.dllr.state.md.us/license/mhic/), but individual carpenters working as employees are not required to hold a state-level license.
