Hiring a Plumber in Atlanta, Georgia
In Atlanta, plumbing work requires a state license from Georgia. Most plumbing jobs will need a permit from the City of Atlanta Office of Buildings. Starting January 1, 2026, all new permit applications must comply with the 2024 International Plumbing Code (with Georgia Amendments). Before you hire, ask your plumber whether they hold a current Georgia Master or Journeyman Plumber license and whether your job requires a building permit. Questions about permits can be directed to the Office of Buildings at (404) 330-6150.
Georgia licenses two levels of plumbers. A Journeyman Plumber needs at least one year of documented plumbing experience under the Georgia State Plumbing Code. A Master Plumber must document at least five years of plumbing experience, including at least two years as a licensed Journeyman. Class I Master Plumbers are limited to single-family homes, duplexes, and commercial buildings under 10,000 square feet; Class II Master Plumbers have no size or type restrictions. Only licensed Master Plumbers may operate a plumbing business in Georgia—Journeymen cannot own one.
You can verify a plumber's license for free through the Georgia Secretary of State's online portal. Licenses expire June 30 every other year and must be renewed online by November 30 of even-numbered years. Licensed Master and Journeyman Plumbers can also obtain a state Medical Gas Piping certification if they work with medical gas systems. If you have a complaint about a licensed plumber, file it through the Secretary of State's office.
