Licensing and permits in Georgia
Art instruction is unlicensed in both the US and Canada; for kids' classes, homeowners should confirm the instructor carries liability insurance and has passed a background check (many studios and independent tutors advertise this) rather than any trade license.
Georgia has no single statewide permitting office — each city or county building/community-development department issues residential permits for construction, alteration, and system work in its own jurisdiction. In Atlanta, permits come from the City of Atlanta Office of Buildings (Department of City Planning), Residential Permits Division.
Tax: Labor is generally not taxable if separately itemized from materials on the invoice — repair and installation labor is exempt when broken out as its own line item, but fabrication labor (making or substantially changing an item) is always taxable, and if labor is lumped in with materials on the invoice the whole charge can become taxable.
Best time to book in Atlanta
Summer (camps, June-August) and fall back-to-school enrollment (September) are the busiest booking windows; sign up a few weeks ahead for the best instructor availability. Peak demand: June, July, August and September. Typical job length: 1 hour per session; multi-week/semester programs run 6-12 weeks.
