Are addition contractors in West Des Moines required to be licensed?

Do I need a permit for home addition?

How do I verify a Home Addition contractor's license in Iowa?
In Iowa, contractor licensing is tracked by the Iowa Division of Labor. You can look up any contractor's license status directly at https://dial.iowa.gov/i-need/records. To file a complaint or check for consumer alerts, use the Iowa Attorney General's consumer complaint page at https://www.iowaattorneygeneral.gov/for-consumers/file-a-consumer-complaint. AboveBoardPros runs this same check before listing a contractor, then reviews it on an ongoing basis.
