I'm preparing a report on the licensing requirements of plumbers in each state. It seems as though, if the state has no requirements, then some jurisdictions within each state has its own requirements. Please answer these four questions.



  1. What state do you work in?
  2. Does your state require plumbers to be licensed?
  3. What code does your state use? (International, BOCA, Uniform Plumbing,etc)
  4. Does your state require passing a written exam or do you just give them money and they issue a license? Please feel free to post your answers until mid September as it will probably take that long to get a good sample. Thanks John
