New York Electrician Licensing and Local Requirements Guide

Local and state requirements

Check the rules for this work

New York’s Department of State directs questions about electrical-contractor licensing to the local building department. It separately identifies state licensing for electricians installing security and fire-alarm systems.

Confirm the requirements for the project’s location and type of electrical work. Local rules vary; the cited guidance does not mean that all electrical work is unlicensed.
