Before hiring, verify the contractor's state license through the Georgia Secretary of State's online portal.

Georgia's State Licensing Board for Residential and Commercial General Contractors regulates general contractors and residential contractors. Before hiring, verify that your contractor holds a valid license. Residential contractor licenses come in two types: Residential Basic and Residential Light Commercial. Commercial General Contractors operate under separate license categories. You can check a contractor's license status for free through the Georgia Secretary of State's online verification system using the contractor's name or license number.

When you contact a general contractor in Atlanta, ask whether they hold a Residential Basic, Residential Light Commercial, or Commercial General Contractor license, and request their license number so you can verify it. The City of Atlanta Office of Buildings issues all building permits for your project and enforces the 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) and 2024 International Building Code (IBC), along with Georgia amendments. Your contractor should be familiar with these current codes.

Georgia contractor licenses expire June 30 each year. Renewal requires proof of continuing education tracked through CE Broker. If you file a complaint about a contractor's work, the Licensing Division handles disputes.
