[pianotech] Business License....???

[Paul T Williams]

Explain that to the state of anywhere!  They just want to know where they 
can do audit if you don't!  I don't agree with it, but that's what they 
say.  Does the PTG legal ever fight this? Just interested these days....

Since when are piano tuners required to be licensed? Unless you are 
referring to a *resale* license with the SBE, but for strictly piano 
tuning, no license is required.

"Licenses and Certifications Piano technicians are not required to be 
licensed. The PTG offers the industry's only regulated credentials, 
available to its members. Qualified piano technicians who pass three 
technical exams can obtain Registered Piano Technician (RPT) credentials. 
Although RPT certification is not required, it is typically an important 
selling point for self-employed piano technicians pursuing clients."

Check with Syd Stone.  He had a license form the city of Hayward, Ca. When 
a nearby city told him he needed a license for their city, too.  He took 
it to court and won.  One license was sufficient.  If you want to know any 
details, ask him, not me.  I told you all I know.

David,

I was always curious that if we are licensed in the city in which we live 
as well as the state, do we also have to have a license for all the 
surrounding cities in which we work?  (It doesn't matter now, since I'm a 
CAUT), but I didn't ever know if I was bending some sort of law living in 
Clinton, WA, but doing business all around Puget Sound.

Best,
Paul
