Hiring in Georgia: license and permit checks
Georgia’s Secretary of State runs the residential and general contractor licensing board; specialty occupations such as roofers, painters, drywall contractors and repair handymen are generally exempt from that state license. Plumbers, electricians and air-conditioning contractors have a different board, and many contractors also need city or county licensing; check the requirements for your scope.
Ask the provider for the license or registration number if their trade requires one, and ask about insurance. Confirm city or county permits with the local building department and get a written scope of work.
