About each permit
Plumbing License
Plumbing renews every single year here rather than on the two-year cycle electrical work uses — a genuine difference between Montana's two major trade boards worth not assuming away. A master plumber pays $380 in total to get licensed, split between a $100 application and a $280 license fee, with a temporary work permit available for a further $100 if needed while the full license is pending. Four hours of continuing education are required each cycle, waived for a licensee's first year. The board has temporarily abated its FY2026 renewal fee entirely, a discretionary reduction on top of the statutory figure rather than a change to the underlying rule. Montana licenses no HVAC or mechanical contractor separately at state level; that trade registers through the same construction contractor pathway as other unlicensed trades.
