South Dakota · Concrete licensing · official-source guide
South Dakota issues no state license for concrete, foundation or masonry work and no state general contractor license. The Department of Revenue requires a contractor's excise tax license before you start work, with 2 percent tax on gross receipts. Competence screening happens at city level: Sioux Falls licenses residential building contractors and registers right-of-way contractors.

South Dakota does not issue a state license for concrete work. There is no state flatwork license, no state foundation license and no state masonry license. There is also no state general contractor or home improvement registration that a concrete company has to sit an exam for. The Department of Labor and Regulation runs the state's occupational licensing programs, and its A to Z list of licensing and registration programs covers electricians, plumbers, architects, engineers, land surveyors and abstracters. No building contractor or concrete contractor program appears on that list. That does not leave a concrete contractor unregulated. Three separate layers apply instead. The first is tax. The South Dakota Department of Revenue requires a contractor's excise tax license of any person entering into a contract for construction services or for the construction, building, installation or repair of a fixture to real property. Pouring footings, foundations, driveways, patios, slabs and sidewalks is squarely inside that definition, so the excise tax license is the state credential that actually applies to this trade. The second layer is the city. Sioux Falls licenses residential building contractors and registers right-of-way contractors, and other municipalities set their own permit and registration rules. The third layer is general business law: entity registration, insurance, and the consumer protection statutes the Attorney General enforces. So the honest answer for a concrete company in South Dakota is that the state checks your tax registration and the city checks your competence, your bond and your insurance. A contractor who treats the Department of Revenue license as a construction license will get that wrong in the largest city in the state.

The contractor's excise tax license is the one state registration a concrete company cannot skip. The Department of Revenue states that an individual must be licensed before starting work in South Dakota, and that all contractors must be licensed regardless of the amount of the receipts they have or the amount of tax due. There is no small-job threshold. A one-man crew pouring a single patio needs the license on the same terms as a company placing commercial foundations. The requirement applies whether the business is a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation or any other organizational type, including nonprofits. There is no fee for a contractor's excise tax license. A license card is issued once the license is approved. You apply online through the Department of Revenue tax application portal, and you can sign up to file and pay electronically at the same time you apply. The Department of Revenue also names a narrow exception. Individuals or businesses who regularly employ others to repair, maintain or make realty improvements to property they own themselves do not need a contractor's excise tax license. In that situation they are not treated as prime contractors and are not liable for the tax. The example the department gives is a business owner who keeps a repair person on hand for work on the owner's own building. The repair person still owes the excise tax on the realty improvements. Businesses with more than one South Dakota location must hold a license for each business location, although a statewide permit allowing one consolidated return is available where ownership, the federal identification number, the Standard Industrial Classification number and the license type all match. That consolidated application has to be approved by the department.
South Dakota taxes construction on the receipt side rather than taxing the trade through a license. Contractor's excise tax is imposed on the gross receipts of all prime contractors engaged in construction services or realty improvement projects in the state at a rate of 2 percent. Gross receipts include the tax you collect from the customer, which is the part that trips up new concrete contractors. If you simply add 2 percent to a bid, you come up short, because the 2 percent you collected is itself part of the receipts being taxed. The Department of Revenue publishes the fix. Because the tax is owed on gross receipts including any taxes collected from the customer, a bid factor of 2.041 percent may be used to calculate the excise tax when preparing a bid or a bill. That lets you collect the full amount of tax due instead of absorbing the gap on every pour. The department also publishes a bid factor worksheet and an online bid calculator for exactly this purpose. Returns may be filed on paper or through the state's online filing and tax payment portal. Returns are due by the twentieth of the month. Paper payments are also due by the twentieth. Payments submitted electronically are due by the twenty-fifth. For a concrete company this changes how you quote. Flatwork is a volume trade with thin margins and a lot of small tickets, so a 2.041 percent line that you forgot to build into a driveway price comes straight out of profit. Build the factor into your estimating template once rather than remembering it job by job. The Department of Revenue runs three-hour contractor's excise tax seminars in Sioux Falls, Rapid City and Mitchell several times a year that cover how and when to apply for the license and how to file the returns.

Most concrete work is subcontracted, so the prime contractor exemption certificate decides who actually pays the 2 percent. On a non-qualified utility project, which covers ordinary residential and commercial construction, the prime contractor owes contractor's excise tax on gross receipts and must issue prime contractor exemption certificates to all subcontractors. A subcontractor who holds a certificate for the project does not owe the excise tax on that work. The certificate is project specific. The Department of Revenue states that the certificate must show the prime contractor's excise tax license number, the project location and the project description, and that a blanket certificate cannot be issued to a subcontractor. If a subcontractor hires another subcontractor, the prime contractor must issue the certificate. A subcontractor who does not have a certificate on file for a project is considered a prime contractor and is subject to the tax. The department recommends getting the certificate before starting work. For a concrete sub this is a paperwork habit with real money attached. If you pour foundations for five builders, you need five certificates, each naming the specific job site, and you need them before the trucks roll. Chasing a certificate after the fact when the builder has moved on is how concrete subs end up paying tax that was never in their price. Qualified utility projects work differently. On work for an electric, water, gas, railroad, telephone or rural water entity where the prime contractor is paid directly by the utility, both the prime contractor and the subcontractors owe the 2 percent on their own gross receipts, and the prime contractor cannot issue exemption certificates for that project. A concrete crew setting utility pads or vaults should confirm which category the job falls in before bidding it.

The excise tax is not the only tax line on a concrete job. South Dakota state sales and use tax applies to sales or purchases of taxable products and services, and municipal sales and use tax applies on top of the state rate where the purchaser receives or uses the product in a municipality that imposes it. The Department of Revenue publishes the state sales and use tax rate as 4.2 percent and the municipal rate as 1 to 2 percent. On a non-qualified utility project the prime contractor owes state plus applicable municipal use tax on material that the contractor or a subcontractor furnishes for the contract if sales or use tax was not previously paid. The prime contractor also has to include the value of material furnished by the owner in the gross receipts subject to contractor's excise tax, and owes use tax on owner-furnished material if the owner cannot document that sales or use tax was already paid. Subcontractors owe state and applicable municipal sales or use tax on material they furnish, even when an exemption certificate relieves them of the excise tax. For a concrete contractor the practical effect is that ready-mix, rebar, mesh, forms, sealers and aggregate are taxed as materials while the labor and the whole contract price run through the 2 percent excise tax. Owner-furnished material matters more in this trade than in most, because builders and homeowners sometimes supply their own ready-mix or gravel. That does not take the value out of your taxable receipts. The Department of Revenue publishes short tax fact sheets on gravel, on self-contractors and on realty improvement for sales tax exempt entities, and runs a contractor's excise tax guide. A concrete company doing any volume should read the gravel and self-contractor sheets before the first audit, not after.

South Dakota enforces the tax license rather than a trade license, and the penalty is criminal, not just financial. The Department of Revenue states that anyone operating a taxable business in South Dakota without a tax license is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. If convicted, the penalty is up to 1000 dollars and one year in jail, or both. Any person who continues to operate a business after receiving notification from the department that a license is required could be found guilty of a Class 6 felony. If convicted, the fine is up to 4000 dollars and two years in the state penitentiary, or both. The department cites SDCL 10-45-48.1. Read the second half of that again, because it is the part concrete contractors underrate. The misdemeanor exposure comes from operating unlicensed. The felony exposure comes from ignoring the notice. Contractors who get a letter from Pierre, set it aside through a busy pour season and keep booking work are the ones who end up in the second category. There is a second cost that never shows up in a statute. The Attorney General's consumer protection division tells South Dakotans buying from a door-to-door seller to ask to see the seller's current South Dakota tax license and says plainly that a seller must have one to do business in the state. Driveway and flatwork crews knock on doors after hail and after a hard freeze season. When a homeowner asks for the license and you cannot produce the card, you have lost the job and handed the next crew a reason to be trusted. City penalties sit on top of the state exposure. Sioux Falls requires the residential building contractor license for permitted work on one and two family dwellings and townhomes, and permitted work started without the license is work the city can stop.
Sioux Falls is the largest construction market in South Dakota and it does license contractors, so the city layer matters more than the state layer for most concrete companies. The city requires a Residential Building Contractor's License of all contractors doing work on residential one and two family dwellings and townhomes within the city limits. The city states the test plainly: any construction work done on residential homes that would require a building permit requires the contractor to obtain this license. That permit test is how a concrete contractor finds out where the line is. The city lists sheds and decks, shingles, sheetrock replacement, exterior door and window replacement, basement finishing and new construction as examples of work inside the license. It lists floor coverings such as tile and carpet, painting and cabinets as examples of work that does not require a permit and therefore does not require the license. Concrete work splits across that line by what you are pouring. Footings and foundations for a house or an addition are permitted structural work. A free standing patio slab may not be. The city invites contractors to call and ask whether a particular job requires a permit or a license, and for a concrete company that call is cheaper than guessing. Sioux Falls does not offer licenses for single job types. The city states that it does not license specific jobs only, giving siding, shingling, window replacement and decks as examples, and that the Residential Building Contractor's license is required for any and all types of general construction on residential structures. There is no Sioux Falls concrete license to apply for. On the commercial side the city does not require a Commercial Building Contractor to be licensed at this time, and says the same about a general contractor doing work on commercial projects. Each commercial project still has to go through plan review and get the proper permits. Apartment buildings count as commercial for construction purposes.
To hold the Sioux Falls residential license, a person has to pass the city's Construction Supervisor Examination first. The exam is a timed open book test based on the City of Sioux Falls Residential Code Handbook, which the applicant receives on applying for the exam and which can also be bought for 10 dollars. The examination fee is 75 dollars, due on application, and the exam is offered once per month. The city states that the exam is 50 questions and that a score of 80 percent or higher is required to pass, so no more than 10 answers may be wrong. After passing, the Construction Supervisor applies for the license and must submit the bond, the insurance certificate and the fee within 90 days of the examination. The compliance bond is 20000 dollars, written by a corporate surety authorized to transact business in South Dakota, listing the contractor as principal and the City of Sioux Falls as obligee for the benefit of the city and of consumers dealing with the contractor. The city will not accept the words general contractor as the bond description. The bond has to name the license you are applying for. The insurance minimum is a certificate of liability insurance with single limits of at least 300000 dollars general liability, with the City of Sioux Falls as certificate holder. The business name has to match across the application, the bond and the insurance certificate. The license fee is 300 dollars and the license expires March 1 of every third year, with the current cycle expiring March 1, 2028. The fee is prorated for applicants entering mid cycle at 200 dollars in the second year and 100 dollars in the third. Construction Supervisors must provide at least one hour of continuing education during each license cycle, certified by the course instructor on the city's form. An Inactive Construction Supervisor license lets someone who has passed the exam keep a current city license without working, and reinstate later without retesting. Contractors also need a South Dakota contractor's excise tax number before the city license is issued.
The Sioux Falls rule that catches concrete companies most often has nothing to do with the building contractor license. A right-of-way contractor is one who performs work in the public right of way, and the city names grading, paving, installing sidewalks and installing or repairing sewer or gas lines as examples. Sidewalk and approach work in front of a house is right-of-way work. Before a right-of-way contractor can begin work or even apply for permits, the applicant has to complete the city's checklist and give the required forms and documentation to the City Engineering Division. The Engineering Division reviews the bond and insurance documentation for compliance with city ordinance, and if it complies the business is marked as an approved right-of-way contractor and added to the city's list of approved right-of-way contractors. The bond and insurance requirements are specific. The surety bond is filed in the amount of 10000 dollars, with principal and surety signatures notarized and the notary acknowledgment date matching the signature date, and the original bond delivered to the City Engineering Office. Commercial general liability insurance must carry a minimum of 1000000 dollars per occurrence, 2000000 dollars general aggregate and 2000000 dollars aggregate products and completed operations, with the City of Sioux Falls named as additional insured. Those limits may include excess or umbrella coverage, and the policy has to be maintained for three years after the work is completed. Automobile liability insurance must carry a minimum of 1000000 dollars combined single limit each occurrence. Workers compensation insurance is required, or a signed and dated exemption form filed with the Engineering Office. Only sewer and water contractors need a state license for right-of-way work. A concrete crew pouring sidewalk and curb does not, but it still needs the bond, the insurance and the approval. Company name has to be used consistently across every form, the bond and the insurance certificate.
Sioux Falls requires a permit before repairing, replacing or installing a sidewalk, and the permit is applied for through the city's Customer Self Service portal or in person at City Center. Work cannot start until the permit has been issued. The application asks for the things a flatwork contractor already knows: the number of panels being worked on, and the construction method being used. The city lists new sidewalk, replacing an existing sidewalk, grinding down a sidewalk edge, mudjacking and crack filling as the methods to choose among, and asks whether repair or replacement is needed on the approach. A new Customer Self Service account can take up to two business days for staff approval, so a contractor who waits until the morning of the pour to register has already lost the week. The sentence on that page that decides who gets the work reads that driveway approach repair must be completed by a bonded and insured contractor registered with the city. A homeowner can pull a sidewalk permit, but the approach is reserved for registered contractors. For a concrete company that is a closed market you can only enter by completing the right-of-way registration first. Sioux Falls also publishes homeowner facing guides on sidewalk repair, on common sidewalk defects and acceptable repairs, and on hiring a sidewalk contractor. Those documents are worth reading because they set the standard your work will be inspected against and they shape what the homeowner expects before you ever quote. The city's broader permit pages cover building permits, fences, detached garages and sheds, floodplain development and manufactured home placement, all of which can sit on top of a concrete scope. A garage slab in a floodplain is two permit conversations, not one.
Outside Sioux Falls, concrete contracting is governed city by city, and the rules are not uniform. Because South Dakota has no state construction license, a municipality that wants contractors screened has to build its own program, and municipalities that do not want one simply rely on building permits and inspections. That means a concrete company working regionally has to check each jurisdiction rather than assuming one credential travels. Rapid City is the second largest market in the state and runs its own building inspection function. We were not able to retrieve the city's contractor and permit requirements from a city source while preparing this page, so no Rapid City figures are published here. Before bidding there, call the city's building inspection office and ask three questions: whether the city requires a contractor license or registration for the work you do, whether a permit is required for flatwork and foundations, and what bond or insurance the city requires for work in the public right of way. Get the answer tied to a specific scope, because the answer for a house foundation is often different from the answer for a driveway approach. Smaller cities commonly require a permit without requiring a license. Counties often regulate access onto county roads, which matters for a rural driveway pour. Work on reservation land adds another layer. The Department of Revenue recommends that before working within Indian country a contractor contact the tribe to find out what requirements it has for businesses and contractors working in its jurisdiction. Keep a short file per city you work in: who to call, what the permit is called, what they want on a certificate of insurance, and how long approval takes. In a trade where the schedule is set by weather and ready-mix availability, a two day registration delay is the difference between pouring a job and losing it.

South Dakota is unusual on workers compensation and concrete contractors should understand exactly how. The Department of Labor and Regulation states that there is no law in South Dakota requiring any employer to carry workers compensation insurance, while recommending it strongly, and warns that an uninsured employer may be sued in civil court by an injured worker. The state program is an insurance program for employers who choose coverage, paying medical and disability benefits for work-related injuries and diseases. The coverage rules themselves are broad. The department says South Dakota workers compensation law covers all employers with only limited exceptions, and lists domestic servants below a stated threshold, farm or agricultural labor, persons whose employment is not in the usual course of the employer's trade or business including certified independent contractors, certain elected officials and workfare participants. The department also runs an online coverage verification service that anyone can use to check whether an employer carries coverage. Carrying no coverage is legal and still a bad plan in this trade. Concrete work involves heavy equipment, forms, saws, truck traffic and wet cement burns. Without coverage, an injured employee's claim lands in civil court against the business. General liability is a separate matter and is where contracts bite. Sioux Falls requires at least 300000 dollars general liability for its residential building contractor license, and requires 1000000 dollars per occurrence with 2000000 dollars general aggregate and 2000000 dollars aggregate products and completed operations for right-of-way work, held for three years after completion. Builders and commercial owners routinely demand more. The Attorney General's consumer protection division tells homeowners that contractors should carry personal liability, workers compensation and property damage coverage, and to ask for copies of current insurance certificates. Expect to be asked, and keep certificates current and issued in the exact business name you contract under.

A concrete company in South Dakota registers as a business entity with the Secretary of State, separately from any tax or city license. The Secretary of State's business services division handles business corporations, limited liability companies, series LLCs, nonprofit corporations, limited liability partnerships, limited partnerships, cooperatives and business trusts, plus fictitious name filings, registered agent changes, annual reports, reinstatements and certificates of good standing. The published fee schedule gives the numbers. Domestic Articles of Organization for a limited liability company cost 150 dollars filed electronically online, or 165 dollars filed on paper, which includes the paper filing fee. Domestic Articles of Incorporation for a business corporation are the same: 150 dollars online and 165 dollars on paper. A foreign entity seeking authority to do business in South Dakota pays 750 dollars online or 765 dollars on paper, which is the figure an out-of-state concrete company crossing the border needs to plan for. The annual report is 55 dollars filed electronically or 70 dollars on paper, with a 55 dollar late fee for delinquent annual reports. A fictitious or DBA business name registration is 10 dollars, as is an amendment or renewal of one, and cancellation is free. Reservation of a name is 25 dollars. A certificate of good standing or existence costs 20 dollars filed electronically online or 35 dollars on paper. Reinstatement of a domestic limited liability company after administrative dissolution is 150 dollars plus delinquent reports and fees. Registering the entity does nothing for your right to build. It gives you a name, a registered agent of record and a public filing that customers and general contractors can look up. Keep the entity name, the excise tax license, the city license, the bond and the insurance certificate all in the same exact name. Mismatched names are the most common reason a city rejects a contractor license packet.

South Dakota does not impose a statewide rule requiring a license number on a concrete contractor's ads, trucks, website or written estimates, because the state issues no construction license to number. That absence changes how a concrete company has to advertise honestly. Start with what you must not claim. The Attorney General's consumer protection division enforces SDCL chapter 37-24, the deceptive trade practices and consumer protection statutes. Advertising a state contractor license, a state certification or a state concrete license that South Dakota does not issue is the kind of claim that invites a complaint. The same goes for implying that a Department of Revenue excise tax license is a construction license. Sioux Falls makes this point for you: the city notes that contractors who think they already hold a state contractor's license probably hold a South Dakota contractor's excise tax license, which is for excise tax, and that a Residential Building Contractor license is still needed to work in Sioux Falls. What you can say is more useful than what competitors say. If you hold the Sioux Falls Residential Building Contractor license, say so by its exact name and say that you passed the city's Construction Supervisor Examination. If you are an approved right-of-way contractor, say that, because it is the credential a homeowner needs to hear before a driveway approach job. Name the bond and insurance you actually carry. Say that you hold a South Dakota contractor's excise tax license and that your excise tax is built into the quoted price, not added later. Door to door selling has its own rules. The Attorney General's office tells consumers to ask a door-to-door seller to see a current South Dakota tax license and states that the seller must have one. A flatwork crew canvassing a neighborhood should carry the license card and the insurance certificate, and expect to be asked for both.

Because there is no state license to look up, verification in South Dakota runs through several smaller checks, and a concrete contractor who points customers to them directly wins the comparison against a competitor who cannot. Entity standing comes from the Secretary of State. The business filing search lets anyone confirm that a company is registered, see the registered agent and check that the entity is active. Name availability and registered agent searches sit alongside it. Complaint history comes from the Attorney General. The consumer protection division runs a company search on its consumer site, where a consumer can look up a business before hiring. Workers compensation coverage can be confirmed through the Department of Labor and Regulation's online coverage verification service, which reports whether an employer carries coverage. City licensing is verifiable in Sioux Falls. The city publishes a list of all contractors licensed with the City of Sioux Falls, updated regularly by the Building Services division. The city says the list exists so residents can make sure they hire licensed contractors and so contractors can use it when selecting subcontractors. Sioux Falls also publishes a bonded right-of-way contractor list and a bonded sewer and water contractor list. Trade licenses for other trades are verifiable at the state. The Plumbing Commission publishes lists of licensees, and the Electrical Commission licenses all electricians in the state. If your concrete scope touches electrical or plumbing, the Sioux Falls rule is that separate licenses are required for each field and that a Residential Building Contractor may not do electrical, plumbing or mechanical work without the additional licenses. The Attorney General's guidance to homeowners is to check for qualifications including licensing, ask how many similar projects the contractor completed in the last year, request at least three references with addresses and phone numbers, and get written estimates from several firms. Have the references, the certificate and the license numbers ready before the homeowner asks.

There is no state concrete license in South Dakota, so there is nothing at state level to reciprocate. An out-of-state concrete contractor does not transfer a license in. The steps are to register the entity with the Secretary of State, get a contractor's excise tax license from the Department of Revenue before starting work, and then satisfy whatever the city requires. Sioux Falls is explicit that it does not reciprocate. The city states that it does not reciprocate any licenses from other states and that an applicant still has to take and pass the examination before applying for the license. A twenty-year foundation contractor from another state sits the same Construction Supervisor Examination as a first-time applicant. Renewal cycles differ by credential and that is where contractors slip. The Sioux Falls residential license expires March 1 of every third year, with the current cycle expiring March 1, 2028, and the fee is prorated for applicants who come in during the second or third year of a cycle. Construction Supervisors owe at least one hour of continuing education per license cycle, certified on the city's form and submitted for approval. The compliance bond and the insurance certificate are continuing obligations, not one-time filings: the city puts the responsibility on the contractor to forward every bond continuation certificate and every renewal insurance certificate to Planning and Development Services. For right-of-way work, the general liability policy has to be maintained for three years after the work is finished. State tax filings run on their own clock. Excise tax returns are due by the twentieth of the month, with electronic payments due by the twenty-fifth. Secretary of State annual reports carry a 55 dollar late fee when delinquent. Put all of it on one calendar. A lapsed bond continuation is enough to stop a city license, and a lapsed license is enough to stop a pour that twelve ready-mix trucks are already scheduled for.

These are common details other guides publish about South Dakota, but we could not verify them from the agency source. Confirm them directly before relying on them.
No. South Dakota issues no state concrete, flatwork, foundation or masonry license, and no state general contractor license. The Department of Labor and Regulation's licensing programs cover electricians, plumbers, architects and engineers, not building contractors. What the state does require is a contractor's excise tax license from the Department of Revenue.
It is the Department of Revenue registration required of any person entering into a contract for construction services or for the construction, building, installation or repair of a fixture to real property. The department says you must be licensed before starting work, and that all contractors must be licensed regardless of their receipts or tax due.
Nothing. The Department of Revenue states there is no fee for a sales or contractor's excise tax license, and a license card is issued once the license is approved. You apply online through the department's tax license application portal and can sign up to file and pay electronically at the same time you apply.
Contractor's excise tax runs 2 percent on gross receipts, and gross receipts include the tax collected from the customer. Adding a flat 2 percent therefore leaves you short. The Department of Revenue says a bid factor of 2.041 percent may be used when preparing a bid or bill so you collect the full tax due.
If the work requires a building permit on a one or two family dwelling or townhome inside city limits, yes. Sioux Falls requires its Residential Building Contractor's License for any construction work on residential homes that would require a permit. The city invites contractors to call and confirm whether a specific job needs a permit.
Only a bonded and insured contractor registered with the city. The city states that driveway approach repair must be completed by a registered contractor, which means finishing right-of-way contractor registration with the City Engineering Division first. A homeowner can pull a sidewalk permit, but the approach itself is reserved for registered contractors.
A 20000 dollar compliance bond written by a corporate surety authorized in South Dakota, naming you as principal and the City of Sioux Falls as obligee, plus a certificate of liability insurance with single limits of at least 300000 dollars general liability listing the city as certificate holder. The bond cannot say general contractor.
A 10000 dollar notarized surety bond filed with the City Engineering Division, commercial general liability of 1000000 dollars per occurrence with 2000000 dollars general aggregate and 2000000 dollars products and completed operations aggregate, the city named as additional insured, 1000000 dollars auto liability, and workers compensation or a signed exemption form.
No. The city states that it does not reciprocate any licenses, and that you still need to take and pass its examination before applying. The Construction Supervisor Examination is a timed open book test of 50 questions on the city's Residential Code Handbook, with a 75 dollar fee and 80 percent required to pass.
No. The Department of Labor and Regulation states there is no law in South Dakota requiring any employer to carry workers compensation insurance, while recommending it, and warns that an uninsured employer may be sued in civil court by an injured worker. Sioux Falls right-of-way work requires coverage or a signed exemption form.
The Department of Revenue states that operating a taxable business in South Dakota without a tax license is a Class 1 misdemeanor, carrying up to 1000 dollars and one year in jail. Continuing to operate after the department notifies you that a license is required can be a Class 6 felony, up to 4000 dollars and two years.
Often yes. The Attorney General's consumer protection division explains a three day right to cancel purchases made in the home, with the seller required to give a contract or receipt showing the cancellation right and a duplicate Notice of Cancellation. Purchases under 25 dollars are not covered. Refunds are due within ten days.
