Roofing

Roofing (no separate state license)

No license required · State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors (GA Secretary of State, Professional Licensing Boards Division)

Georgia does not issue a state license for this work. Check with your city or county.

Georgia has no state roofing license. The Board's 'Traditional Specialty Contractors' policy statement (under O.C.G.A. 43-41-17) lists Flat Roofing, Sheet Metal Roofing and Shingles and Shakes as specialty trades that do not need a residential or general contractor license when working within the specialty (limited-service list also covers repair/re-roof of existing roofs without structural work for weatherization contractors). Roofing work that includes structural work or general contracting scope above the license threshold requires a Residential/General Contractor license (see those entries). Licensing/registration/business-license requirements are local (city/county) and vary by jurisdiction. A voluntary industry license exists (GARCA) but is not a state license.

Count the days to your deadline

Informational only. Check it with the issuing board. Licensing rules, deadlines and CE requirements change, fee amounts are approximate, and this checklist can be out of date. It is not legal advice, and ClearLicensed is not affiliated with any state board. Sources for every rule are on clearlicensed.com/states/GA.

This information is here to help you plan, not to replace the board. Fee amounts are approximate and may be out of date. Deadlines and continuing education rules change too, sometimes without much notice. Always confirm with your licensing board and its official site before you rely on a date or an amount. This is not legal advice.
