Asbestos licensing in North Carolina
North Carolina accredits individuals who work with asbestos through the Department of Health and Human Services, and it requires a state permit for larger removal projects. Homeowners may renovate their own home without a permit, but the state says a hired asbestos contractor should have North Carolina accreditation. Use the department's accredited asbestos professionals search to check the accreditation on record, and check the agency's site for current requirements.
