About each permit
Contractor Licensing — State Board License Applies (Cobb County)
A contractor working in Cobb County is licensed at the state level by the Georgia State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors, and O.C.G.A. §43-41-17(c) states directly that 'no municipality or county may require any such person licensed under this chapter to comply with any additional licensing requirements imposed by such municipality or county relative to the performance of construction work,' with a carve-out only for a local license already in effect as of July 1, 2004. Cobb County's Business License FAQs likewise state that plumbers, electricians, heating and air conditioning contractors, building contractors and mechanical contractors 'are required to be certified by the State.' A contractor still needs the ordinary Occupation Tax Certificate described above like any other business operating in unincorporated Cobb, and a building permit under the record above for any construction work performed.
