  • The City requires all plumbing work to be done by a City of Long Beach licensed plumber, and homeowners may not do their own plumbing.
  • The City requires new plumber's license applicants to appear in person before its plumbing board for a preliminary exam and to submit copies of a master plumber's license and a Certificate of Competency from a Nassau County Tri-Town Agreement member.
  • A City plumber's license costs $400.00, and a new applicant whose business is outside Nassau County adds $70.00. A company applicant's licensed plumber must own 51% of the company, and the license expires May 31 of its second year.
