Georgia requires plumbers to hold a state license. Two types exist: Journeyman Plumber and Master Plumber. A Journeyman must have at least one year of documented experience in plumbing covered by the Georgia State Plumbing Code. A Master Plumber must document at least five years of plumbing experience, with at least two of those years licensed as a Journeyman. Class I Master Plumbers can work on single-family dwellings, duplexes, and commercial structures under 10,000 square feet; Class II Master Plumbers have no scope restrictions. Only licensed Master Plumbers may legally own a plumbing business in Georgia.

Before calling a plumber, verify their license through the Georgia Secretary of State's online portal at verify.sos.ga.gov/verification/. You can search by the plumber's name or license number. This check confirms the license is current and in good standing. If you have a complaint about a plumber's work, file it with the Georgia Secretary of State's Division of Master and Journeyman Plumbers through their complaint portal.

In Atlanta, plumbing work is subject to the City of Atlanta building codes and permit requirements enforced by the Office of Buildings. Depending on the scope of work, your plumber may need to obtain a permit. The City adopted the 2024 International Plumbing Code (with Georgia Amendments) effective January 1, 2026. Ask your plumber whether a permit is needed for your job and what timeline that adds.
