Due to the rising cost of doing business and to continue to provide the level of service required by the state, the Board recently sought a modest increase to its licensing and exam fees. The Board does not receive any financial support from the state; therefore, it must generate its own revenue. The last rate increase was in 2007.
During the last legislative session, Act No. 478 was signed into law and will go into effect
September 1, 2024. The Act will increase the cost of each license by $50.
The following list shows the fees that were changed and the new amount:
Licensing Fees – Total fees
- Agency 350.00
- Journeyman 350.00
- Individual 200.00
- Apprentice $200.00
Renewing Fees
- Agency $300.00
- Journeyman $300.00
- Individual $150.00
Exam Fees
- Exam $100.00
- Exam Retake $50.00
*All other fees will remain the same
