What is this time period?
Something small like this is usually upon completion but most contractor work is net 30 at on average unless contracts state differently or if you work for the Corps of Engineer then it's net 90 IIRC.

I would pay because I believe in Karma.

You put forth the least amount of effort you possibly could have if you even did that. Employees rarely accept payments for contractors. You don’t mention that you ever followed up with him. It sounds like you kept quiet hoping someone would give you a handout.
I am sure everyone on the OT chases down people to give them money.
You can't fault OP when he was told by the employees the contractor would bill him and never did.
If Chase forgets to bill me for usage on my CC I am not going to call them and beg them to run their business correctly.

Yea I know but just telling him the time frame to at least get a bill to someone.

Over 1year you do not have to pay. However what kind of a person are you morally? Can you sleep at night knowing you owe someone for a job done?

I ask for all of my business bills ASAP so I can do what I need to do to pass them on to accounts payable
Hate having to keep track of all of that shite, especially for months on end.

You moved and the contractor sent the bill to your new address?

Yea I pay vendors and subs before I get paid because I do not want any surprises. I am the contractor and it's my responsibility to make sure everyone is paid and that I too get paid.

I'm never letting a client hand a technician, or even a project manager, a substantial sum of money

Contractor could never even show OP received the bill if he has a new mailing address. Might not even be able to serve him with a lawsuit, if the contractor was even inclined to do so.

OP should pay but I'd call the contractor first and tell him the truth.
"You took too long to invoice me which is your fault and this comes unexpectedly and I dont have the funds currently. What can we arrange?"
The contractor is the one at fault here if what op says is true and op shouldn't feel obligated to jump through hoops or put himself in a financial bond over it at this point.
I don't disagree with any of that, I am against using the law to get out of paying a true debt.
Obviously, the law exists so someone can't show up a year later or whatever, and say "hey, you owe me for some work I did a year ago" when the work was never performed.
In this case, the work was performed and clearly the OP was satisfied with it as was a subsequent buyer.
Why not take the high road and work it out?

Yes, you have to pay. However, waiting 1.5 years to collect is total bullshite. I would ask to pay in installments. I think that’s fair.

He sent me an email

He lived at the house for a year after. Is a year not long enough to invoice someone? The law says 60 days is a suitable amount of time.

Should have ran as fast as you could to the next contractor. A contractor that can't afford to pay his employees is one that doesn't have worker's comp, liability, or much business sense.
