How Massachusetts licenses plumbers
Plumbers are licensed by the state.
Who licenses: Massachusetts Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters (Division of Occupational Licensure)
License types: Master Plumber, Journeyman Plumber, Apprentice Plumber (registered).
Businesses: A licensed master plumber may operate as an individual, firm or corporation and employ journeymen and apprentices, and only licensed masters and journeymen may perform plumbing work and obtain permits.
Check a license: occupationallicensingandpermitting.mass.gov
Verify the plumber's master or journeyman license in the state's online license portal and make sure a permit from your local plumbing inspector is pulled for anything beyond minor repairs.
Sources: mass.gov. Checked October 2026 from official sources. This is not legal advice.
Before you hire
Ask for the license number and check it on the official lookup where one exists. Ask for proof of insurance and a written, itemized estimate, and ask who pulls the permit if the job needs one – water heaters, repiping and sewer lines often do.
