Confirm This Is the Right License for Your Work

Every state licensing board defines the exact project types, sizes, and trades that fall under each contractor classification. Review the scope below to make sure this license matches the work you actually do — then enroll in the seminar that prepares you for that exam the first time.

A Master Plumber is unrestricted as to the size and scope of the job except for Medical Gas and Water Supply Protection Specialist. Master Plumbers can bid on jobs, advertise and pull all necessary permits.

A Journeyman Plumber is permitted to do repair work only.

License Requirements

Pre-Approval from the state is required.

Individuals must hold a Journeyman Plumber license before eligible to sit for the Master Plumber exam.

To qualify for the Journeyman Plumber classification, the applicant must have at least five years or 8,000 hours of full-time experience in the plumbing trade. The application is required to be signed by three (3) currently licensed Journeyman or Master Plumbers who can attest to the experience.

To qualify for the Master Pumber classification, the applicant must hold a current Journeyman Plumber License or a current restricted Master Plumber License or a LA Professional Engineers License with 5 years experience in the plumbing trade.

Master Plumbers are required to carry general liability insurance, vehicle liability insurance on service vehicles and Worker's Compensation insurance if they have employees. Licenses cannot be issued without proof of insurance.

Completion of the Louisiana Business Law course is required for licensure

A financial statement showing a net worth of at least $50,000 (within 12 months of filing date) prepared by a CPA, Accountant or Bookkeeper, for those wishing to perform work on a construction undertaking where the entire cost of the project is $50,000.00 or more.

Reciprocity

Louisiana states that if an individual holds a license in any other state for a classification that required a trade exam to be passed, LA will accept that exam for reciprocity for whatever classification LSLBC deems to be equivalent.

Continuing Education

Journeyman Plumbers are required to complete 4 hours of Louisiana State Approved Continuing Education prior to renewal.

Master Plumbers are required to complete 6 hours of Louisiana State Approved Continuing Education prior to renewal.
