Plumber Licensing by State

Why are most states not live yet?

Because a state hub with no roster behind it is an empty page. We add a state once we have fetched its licensing roster, parsed it, and validated it against the same checks every other state passes. Listing 50 states we cannot back up would make the directory look bigger and be worth less.

What does "licensed locally" mean?

Some states do not issue a statewide plumbing license at all - cities and counties license instead. In those states there is no single roster to check against, so verification means contacting the local authority that issued the license.

What does "not yet verified" mean in the table?

That we have not yet confirmed how that state licenses plumbers. It does not mean the state has no licensing requirement. Assume a license is required and check with the state until we have confirmed otherwise.
