Today is day two of the new license law in Georgia. If your wondering how this could effect you or your clients, imagine this, you have a new construction house under contract and the contractor was able to pull permits under the previous local jurisdictions. If the contractor does not obtain a new state license before the closing, he or she will not be able to get a C.O.(certificate of occupancy). I can only imagine how many people will think they are going to be closing and pack up the moving van only to find out that there contractor was not aware he could not receive the C.O.
I would say that most contractors have been brought up to speed on this issue. If I had A CONTRACT ON A NEW CONSTRUCTION HOUSE I would contact my local building inspection department or the Secretary of State in Georgia to find out how to handle the matter if you fall into that category. It might be a little devastating for you or your clients to find themselves homeless for a couple of weeks or months until the matter was resolved.
Stay tuned to see if the state makes some prevision for the houses already under construction. If anyone has any updated information on this issue, I would love to here a comment on it.
