About each permit
Master Plumber License
Unlike electrical contracting there is no separate business permit for plumbers; the security requirement is instead a $3,000 surety bond running with the biennial license. The application fee is $100 without a prior registration or $50 with one, and reinstating a lapsed license costs $150 on top of the renewals owed. Master plumbers are among the trades statutorily exempt from home improvement contractor registration when working within their scope, so the two do not stack.
