Georgia electricians must be licensed by the State Board of Electrical Contractors, a division of the Georgia Secretary of State. License types include Restricted and Non-Restricted licenses; each has specific application requirements. Before you hire, verify the electrician's license status using the Georgia Secretary of State's online GOALS portal.

The City of Atlanta Office of Buildings issues permits for electrical work. Permit applications submitted on or after February 1, 2026 must comply with the 2024 International Residential Code (IRC), 2024 International Building Code (IBC), and 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC), all with Georgia Amendments. Ask your electrician whether your project will require a permit and who will handle the application.

When you contact an electrician, confirm their license is current and ask about their experience with your type of work. The Georgia State Board requires continuing education for license renewal. If you have questions about the permitting process or the new code requirements, the City of Atlanta Office of Buildings can be reached at (404) 330-6150.
