Residential and General Contractors Need License in Georgia

Download PDF

I thought I would pass along information about a new law.

As of July 1, 2008 residential and general contractors who do work in Georgia must obtain a license from the State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors. All applicants will have to pass a two part examination and pay a licensing fee. The law provides, however, an exemption for homeowners who wish to make their own home improvements.
