RenoBinderGeorgia Contractor License Lookup
Checked 2026-11-13.
The Georgia Attorney General's Consumer Ed page says contractors who offer or perform residential or general contractor services for compensation must be licensed, and it tells you to use the Secretary of State licensee search, under Building and Contractors, then Residential and General Contractors. The same page says some specialty work, including roofers, painters, drywall contractors, and repair handymen, is not licensed by the state.
We verified that consumer page. We could not verify the Secretary of State search address itself from here, so follow the path the Attorney General prints rather than a third-party mirror. A local business license is not the state contractor license.
Verify this with the board or the city before you hire. Rules change, and a city or county can require its own license on top of a state record. This is general information, not legal advice.
Common questions
- Where do I look up a Georgia contractor license?
- Follow the Attorney General's steps to the Secretary of State licensee search, then choose Residential and General Contractors. We could not open that search address directly when we checked.
- Does Georgia license every remodel trade?
- The consumer page says some specialties, including roofing, painting, drywall, and repair handymen, are not state-licensed. The general contractor on a larger job still is. Read the current page.
