The Construction State Board of Georgia does not regulate general contractors;
therefore, a state license is not required to process a local business license
for a general contractor. General contractors are regulated at the local level
through the certificate of qualification process administered by Inspections
and Codes Enforcement Division and must be renewed each year. General
Contractors have to pass the Georgia Standard Examination Program test in order
to qualify for a certificate of qualification. Out of the 159 counties in
Georgia, only four (4) require the passing of this test to apply for a local
business license. The counties are Muscogee County (Columbus, GA), Grady
County, Thomas County (Thomasville, GA), and Lowndes County (Valdosta,
GA).
The State Board of Georgia does regulate electrical services and a state
license is required before a local business license can be processed and issued
for electrical services. Mr. Johnson is listed as the qualifying agent for
electrical services for J K Builders & Associates and has a state license from
the State Board of Georgia.
