What type of contractors license do you need to build your own house?

You do not need a Contractor's License to build your own home because you are not a Contractor that builds homes for anyone else.
You may need to get many different 'Permits' to start and complete the build of the house, but you do not need a Contractor's License, unless you plan on building other things for other people for money/compensation.
There are different 'permits' that are required for the different areas you may have a plan to build in.
(i.e.) building within the city limits requires different permits than building out in a rural area would require. The city has different requirements than a rural area build does because different things are necessary to complete the build. You may have to put in a water well and septic system in a rural area build, but may connect to the city water supply and city sewer system if building in the city. Some cities/counties have electrical codes that must be followed and be inspected by the city/county inspector for correctness prior to allowing more work to continue on the home.
You will have to check with the city/county building department, for the specific area you wish to build in to get the correct answers to your needs concerning the permits that will be required. You should not be required to get any Contractor's License though, unless you plan on starting a business of building things for people for money or some other sort of compensation.
