Upon submission of *all* of the required items to the City Manager’s office, a contractor’s license for the City of Sharon shall be issued, which is valid for the entirety or duration of the calendar year. These items must be re-submitted annually after December 15th to become re-certified each new calendar year, which begins January 1st.
