FAQ

All new buildings or building additions require issuance of a building permit and, in most cases, any remodeling that involves structural work (moving or eliminating walls) or any work which increases the living space of your home (finishing attic or basement areas) will require a building permit.

Ing to Georgia handyman laws, you only need a license if any of your work contracts exceed $2,500. Those whose projects exceed this amount must have a contractor license issued by Georgia's State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors. The application process involves the following steps.

Any person determined by the Commissioner to be in violation of this part may be penalized by a fine of not more than $500.00 for each such violation, and by the suspension or revocation of licensure. Multiple violations of this part occurring in a single installation shall constitute one violation.
