About each permit
Electrician License
A master electrician's renewal, at $240, runs more than three times a journeyman's $72, and every renewal carries a flat $6 processing fee on top of either figure, on a two-year cycle. A late renewal adds $12 for every month or part of a month it runs over.
Plumbing License
Priced on the identical structure electrical licensing uses — $240 for a master or contract master, $72 for a journeyperson, a $6 processing fee on either, all on a two-year cycle with a $12-per-month late penalty. Rhode Island licenses no separate HVAC or mechanical trade at state level; that work is not addressed by either this board or the electrical board.
