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
