About each permit
Plumbing License
North Dakota licenses no separate HVAC or mechanical trade — plumbing and electrical work are the only two state-licensed trades outside general contracting. An apprentice plumber pays an escalating fee across a four-year path: $20 in the first year, rising $10 a year to $50 by the fourth, before stepping up to the journeyman rate.
