General contractors in Georgia must be licensed through the State Licensing Board for Residential and Commercial General Contractors. Before hiring, verify that your contractor holds a current license. You can look up any Georgia professional license—including general and residential contractors—free online through the Georgia Secretary of State's GOALS verification portal using the contractor's name or license number.

The City of Atlanta Office of Buildings issues all building permits for renovation and construction projects. Permits are required for most remodeling work. As of February 1, 2026, all new permit applications in Atlanta must comply with the 2024 International Residential Code (IRC), 2024 International Building Code (IBC), and related Georgia-adopted codes. Your contractor should be familiar with these requirements and handle permit submission and inspections. If you have questions about permits, contact the Office of Buildings at (404) 330-6150.

When you call a contractor, ask whether they hold a current general contractor or residential contractor license in Georgia, and ask them to provide their license number so you can verify it yourself. Also clarify what scope they will handle directly versus what they will subcontract, and confirm they will obtain all required City of Atlanta permits before work begins.
