Permits and licensing in Georgia

Georgia's State Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses plumbers statewide through its Division of Master Plumbers and Journeyman Plumbers. Georgia issues Class I and Class II Master Plumber licenses and Journeyman Plumber licenses. A Class I master is limited to one- and two-family homes and smaller commercial buildings. You can check a plumber's license on the state license search. Plumbing permits come from the county or city. DeKalb County charges per fixture, with a minimum fee and a technology fee on every permit. Ask your building department how it prices a whole-house repipe.

  • DeKalb County Department of Planning & Sustainability: $10.00 per fixture (water closets, lavatories, bath tubs, showers, dishwashers, washing machines and the other fixtures the schedule lists); minimum permit fee $100 plus a $20 technology fee on each permit. For a house with 2 full baths and 11 fixtures, that comes to $110–$130.

Age of Georgia's housing

Half of the housing units in Georgia were built before 1993, by the Census Bureau's ACS 2024 1-year count. 12% were built before 1960, when galvanized supply pipe was common. 31% were built from 1980 to 1999, the two Census decades that overlap the years polybutylene pipe was made. Age alone does not tell you what pipe a house has; a plumber or inspector can.

How was the Georgia estimate made?

The national per-fixture prices plumbers publish were multiplied by 0.807, the ratio of the Georgia mean plumber wage to the US mean. That price times the fixture count, plus the permit fee from the DeKalb County Department of Planning & Sustainability, gives the range. The methodology explains each step.
