Hiring an Electrician in Marietta, Georgia
Georgia requires electrical contractors to hold a license issued by the Georgia State Board of Electrical Contractors. There are two license types: Restricted License and Non-Restricted License. Before hiring, verify that your electrician holds a current license by searching the Georgia Secretary of State's online license verification system (GOALS) at verify.sos.ga.gov/verification/ — you can look up a contractor by name or license number.
In Cobb County (where Marietta is located), most electrical work requires a permit from the county's Building and Development office.

When you hire an electrician, ask whether they will obtain the permit or if you need to apply yourself. Also confirm that they are familiar with Cobb County's current building codes and inspection requirements for your specific project.
