A few counties in the Atlanta metro area will require a low-voltage licensed contracted pull a permit, then the wiring is subject to building inspection to get a cert of occupancy.

Once the C.of Oc. is acquired, anyone can show up and pull cables in the building.

The requirements might be dollar value based, but, after the initial inspections, nobody questions the phone guys.


only prob I have with the low volt license requirement is having to know all the tax codes and workers comp laws. Has nothing to do with wiring, but, definitely has to do with meeting state requiremnts.


it's all tip and ring

What is sad is that some of the best installers/cable runners we've known have never been licensed. In Washington State, if you are a telecom administrator I believe you can use just about anyone, however the company itself is responsible for the work being up to par, getting inspections, etc.

To LaneComm of FL, with all due respects, I am an electrical engineer and a state of FL license contractor, the general rule is anything that transfer electric must be permitted. This rule comes from the Florida Electrical board. The purpose is to protect the public from poor work. Now with that in mind most low voltage is done with out a permit. All new construction will have a permit and therefore the low voltage will be permitted. EC001101

In New York State, no license is required. Perhaps there shoud be one. I have seen some very nasty wiring in my region for years. I am astounded that they get paid for the work. It's so bad sometimes, I once saw some idiot swing the thermostat wire to dial tone with dial tone ending up at the thermostat. When I saw that, I broke up laughing. Go figure!

Nor is there a master electrician's license required by NY State. The licenses are issued on a county-by-county basis. A low-voltage license is required in Suffolk County. (See my post above.)

In Louisiana you need a lisence to install security and fire alarm. Under the securty is CCTV, Door openers and the like. You even have to have a lisence to install fire calk. This was done to help get rid of the folks that worked out of the back of their trucks, it helped some with quality and safety. It also put some good small time companies out of the business. There is no requirements for other low voltage cableing. Consumers should check out companies or indivuals before they do business with them.

PMCOOK, careful, careful. Just because you are doing work under a licensed contractor and giving him a hefty percentage does not sit well with the CSLB. I'm not bashing you because we all had to start with a crawl at one time. Just be careful what you say and whom you say it to.

South Dakota as backwards as we are doesn't have low voltage licensing however I am a electrician and meetings and classes come up where people of importance (insert laughter here) say that the day is coming. I do know that Wyoming has requirements including sat tv or sat internet which I have done a few of. From what I have heard from a couple people who do work in wyo as apprentices is that the low voltage test is basically the same as their journyman elec test. Not that its the same exact thing but its based on the NEC book.

Oh my goodness how quickly old posts get dragged back up. Let's try to keep an eye on the original posting date before tagging onto a months-old thread. If you have a similar topic to discuss, feel free to start a new thread. In doing this, you'll keep the subject matter and the attendees up to date. Thanks!
