In Georgia, electrical contractors must hold a license from 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 the correct license for your project. You can look up any Georgia electrical contractor's license using the Georgia Secretary of State's online verification tool (GOALS portal) by the contractor's name or license number.

Most electrical work in unincorporated Cobb County, where Marietta is located, requires a residential or commercial permit. Homeowners can obtain permits themselves or have their contractor apply. Cobb County's Community Development office handles permitting and maintains checklists for common residential projects. The permitting process includes application review and required inspections before work can be completed.

Georgia law requires all licensed electrical contractors to maintain continuing education for license renewal. When you contact an electrician, ask whether they hold an active, current license and what type. Verify the license status before signing any agreement, especially for larger projects like panel upgrades or rewiring.
