The Prevailing Wage law applies to a construction project valued at $500,000 or more if either of the following criteria are met:
- The contracting public body is a unit of State Government or an instrumentality of the State, and there is any State funding for the project; or
- The contracting public body is a political subdivision, agency, person or entity (such as a county) and the State funds 50% or more of the project except for school construction where the contract value is $500,000 or greater with state funding of 25% or more
Please note that Montgomery County established its own prevailing wage law, which has been effective since 2009.
