How to Get a Plumbing License in West Virginia (2026): Levels, Exams and the Company License

To get a plumbing license in West Virginia, pick a level (Plumber in Training, Journeyman or Master), pass the matching Prov exam for Journeyman or Master, and pay the West Virginia Division of Labor's fee. If your company also contracts plumbing jobs of $5,000 or more residential or $25,000 or more commercial, it needs a separate contractor license with the Plumbing classification from the West Virginia Contractor Licensing Board.

For the rules every West Virginia trade shares, see our West Virginia contractor license page, and for how licensing works across the country, the national contractor license guide.

At a glance

• Who issues it: the WV Division of Labor licenses plumbers (the Division also calls it a certification); the WV Contractor Licensing Board licenses plumbing companies.
• Three plumber levels: Plumber in Training (no exam), Journeyman and Master (Prov exam, 70% to pass).
• Fees: $75 a year for Master or Journeyman, $25 for Plumber in Training, plus $59.95 per Prov exam.
• Timing: the master exam may not be taken until one year after you pass the journeyman exam.
• Company trigger: a contractor license is required at $5,000 residential or $25,000 commercial, measured on the total contract.

Who Needs a Plumbing License in West Virginia

Two separate credentials cover two separate things. Every person who does plumbing work needs a plumber license from the Division of Labor, under W. Va. Code 21-14-3: on and after January 1, 2009, anyone performing or offering to perform plumbing work in the state must hold one, whatever the size of the job and whoever the employer is.

A company that contracts for plumbing jobs of $5,000 or more residential or $25,000 or more commercial also needs a contractor license with the Plumbing classification from the Contractor Licensing Board, under W. Va. Code 30-42-3. Holding one gives you no right to do what the other covers.

The Division's FAQ puts it plainly: if three plumbers are working on a job, each of them must hold a plumber license, and their employer must hold a contractor license with a classification that covers plumbing once the job crosses the threshold. The same FAQ adds that five employees doing plumbing on a house all need their own license.

• A plumber license is issued only to a person, never to an entity. Your company cannot hold one and cover its crew with it.
• A contractor license with the Plumbing classification does not let you personally do plumbing work. The company is licensed; you still need your own plumber license.

The Three West Virginia Plumber License Levels

W. Va. Code 21-14-2 defines exactly three levels, each keyed on an exam, not on a school program.

• Plumber in Training is defined in the statute as "a person who has not passed the journeyman plumber examination." There is no exam for this level, and the statute caps its fee at $25. The level allows plumbing work only under the direct supervision of a licensed master or journeyman.
• Journeyman Plumber is a person qualified by passing a journeyman written exam with a score of at least 70 percent. A journeyman may do plumbing work and may instruct and supervise a plumber in training.
• Master Plumber is a person who has passed a master written exam with at least 70 percent. A master may design plumbing systems and supervise journeymen and plumbers in training.

The Division's legislative rule, 42CSR32, adds a supervision ratio that shapes crew size. A licensed master or journeyman may directly supervise no more than three licensed plumbers in training, with oversight at each separate job site.

What Counts as Plumbing Work

This decides whether you need a license at all.

W. Va. Code 21-14-2(e) defines plumbing as the practice, materials and fixtures used within a building in installing, extending and altering all piping, fixtures, water treatment devices, plumbing appliances and appurtenances connected with sanitary or storm drainage; plumbing venting systems; medical gas systems; fuel oil and gas piping for residential, commercial and institutional facilities; backflow preventers; and public or private water supply systems as defined by the state building code.

The Division's plain English version reads narrower than the statute. Plumbing work is installing water lines, vents and drains inside a building. It does not include replacing faucets, replacing washers, unclogging sinks, or installing dishwashers.

So fuel gas and medical gas piping inside a building are within the scope. Swapping a faucet is not.

The Eight Exemptions

W. Va. Code 21-14-3(c) lists eight situations where the plumber license article does not apply:

1. A person who personally performs plumbing work on a single family dwelling that belongs to that person or an immediate family member, or that they occupy as tenants. The rule defines immediate family as parents, spouse, siblings and children.
2. Plumbing at a manufacturing plant or other industrial establishment, done as an employee of the operator.
3. Plumbing by an employee of a retail appliance seller, incidental to installing or repairing an appliance the employer sold.
4. Plumbing by an employee of a public utility or its affiliate in connection with furnishing utility service.
5. Installing, altering or repairing water distribution or drainage lines outside the foundation walls of a building, public or private sewage or water treatment systems, sewers, or underground utility services.
6. Plumbing done while installing, extending, dismantling, adjusting, repairing, servicing or altering an HVAC, air-veyor, air exhaust or air handling system.
7. Plumbing at a coal mine that is being actively mined or where coal is being processed.
8. Plumbing at manufacturing, industrial and natural gas facilities.

Number six is the sleeper. An HVAC technician doing the piping incidental to a system installation is outside the plumber license article, which is why West Virginia's HVAC and plumbing tracks touch but do not overlap. See our HVAC license West Virginia guide for that side.

Experience and Education: What West Virginia Actually Requires

The Division states that all Master and Journeyman applicants must certify their experience and take a written exam. Plumber in Training requires neither.

Neither the statute (Chapter 21, Article 14) nor the Division's rule (42CSR32) sets a minimum number of years or hours for the journeyman or master exam, whatever fixed apprenticeship length you may see quoted online. The binding requirements are the exam score, the one year gap before master, and the experience you certify on the application.

That also means West Virginia does not require a specific plumbing school, program or course, and it does not set or regulate what one costs. Most people build the experience they certify through an employer, a union program or a trade school, but the choice and the cost are theirs, not the state's.

The One Year Rule Between Journeyman and Master

The scheduling fact that sets every West Virginia master plumber timeline sits in W. Va. Code 21-14-2(c):

"the master plumber written examination may not be taken until one year after passage of the journeyman plumber examination."

The Division's rule says the same thing in its own words: a journeyman who passes is not eligible for the master exam until 12 months after the date of passage (42CSR32, section 10.4). This is a hard wait, and extra documented experience does not shorten it.

If you pass the journeyman exam in March, your earliest master exam date is March of the following year. If a business plan depends on someone holding a master license by a certain date, count backward from that rule first.

Journeyman and Master Exams With Prov

The Division contracts with Prov, Inc. (866-720-7768) to give the plumber exams. Per the Division's Prov Candidate Information Bulletin, both exams are computer based and open book with the approved references, and both cost $59.95 each, whether it is your first attempt or a retake.

Both exams cover the same eleven subjects, led by water supply and distribution and by drain, waste and vent systems (11 questions each on the journeyman exam, 14 each on the master).

The approved references are the 2018 International Plumbing Code (58% of questions), the 2018 International Fuel Gas Code (10%), and Plumbing Basics for Contractors, 4th edition (30%). The cut score is 70%, you may retake a failed exam as often as necessary with no waiting period, and you can test at Prov centers in Charleston, Martinsburg, Morgantown and Wheeling or at home through remote proctoring.

How to Get a West Virginia Plumber License, Step by Step

1. Pick your level. Plumber in Training if you have not passed the journeyman exam; Journeyman or Master if you are ready to test.
2. Register with Prov (journeyman or master only) and pay the $59.95 exam fee to Prov, by phone at 866-720-7768 or online.
3. Pass with 70% or better. Bring only the references the bulletin lists.
4. Complete the Plumber License Application/Affidavit. Master and journeyman applicants attach the exam score report and certify their experience. The form is notarized.
5. Pay the Division fee: $75 for Master or Journeyman, $25 for Plumber in Training, by check, certified check, cashier's check or money order to the West Virginia Division of Labor. No cash.
6. Carry your license. W. Va. Code 21-14-3(b) requires a copy on any job where you are doing plumbing work.
7. For master, wait 12 months after passing the journeyman exam, then repeat steps 2 to 5.

How Long It Takes

Three different clocks run depending on which license you need.

• Plumber in Training has no exam, so it is the fastest clock of all. Submit the application and the $25 fee; the only wait is Division processing time.
• Journeyman or Master Plumber needs a scheduled, passed Prov exam before the Division will process the license application. Prov slots at the four West Virginia centers or through remote proctoring are usually available within days; Division processing adds time on top.
• Master, specifically, always adds the mandatory one year wait after passing the journeyman exam (W. Va. Code 21-14-2(c)). No amount of documented experience shortens that wait.
• The company's contractor license runs on a longer clock: a tax number, Secretary of State registration where required, proof of insurance, and the wage bond affidavit all have to be in place before the Board will process the application, on top of the qualifier's two Prov exams.

Fees at a Glance

The Division, the Board and Prov set these amounts and can change them. The Division's own master plumber license fee is $75. If you see a figure in the hundreds, check whether it adds the Prov exam fee and the Board's contractor fees on top of it.

Renewing a West Virginia Plumbing License

Every level of plumber license is valid for up to one year (42CSR32, sections 6.3 and 7.2). The renewal date is printed on your license, and the rule requires the Division to send a renewal notice at least 45 days before it expires.

Renew on or before the expiration date with the renewal application and the fee: $75 for Master or Journeyman, $25 for Plumber in Training. The Division takes renewal payments online through the state's payment portal.

Watch two deadlines. If the renewal arrives or is postmarked more than 15 days late, you owe a $25 late fee on top of the renewal fee. A license that has been expired for 90 days or more cannot be renewed (42CSR32, sections 6.4 and 7.3), so you would have to apply for a new license instead.

The Division's rule sets no continuing education requirement for renewal.

Moving to West Virginia With a License From Another State

The grandfathering window is closed. The Division states it ended July 1, 2009, and W. Va. Code 21-14-4 says a license issued without exam under that window becomes subject to every requirement, including the exam, if it lapses.

There are two routes that do not require the West Virginia exam, both at the Commissioner's discretion under section 14 of 42CSR32:

• Reciprocity. A plumber licensed in a state with requirements equivalent to West Virginia's may be licensed at the same level without exam. The applicant must meet W. Va. Code 21-17-3, which includes holding the other license for at least one year, good standing, no pending complaints, and West Virginia residency.
• Work experience. If you worked in a state that does not license plumbers, W. Va. Code 21-17-4 allows licensure based on at least two years of work in the occupation, plus any required national exams, residency and fees.

Veterans: W. Va. Code 21-14-3a lets a service member who completed a plumber, utilities worker or equivalent rating course, with service under honorable conditions, submit the course certificate and discharge with the application and fee and sit the same exam as any other applicant. If more than 30 years have passed since the course, the Commissioner may require additional training first.

The company license has its own reciprocity. The Contractor Licensing Board lists agreements for the Plumbing classification with Ohio (including the business and law exam, effective April 27, 2018) and Tennessee (effective December 17, 2020). In both cases the Board notes the workers must still be licensed by the Division of Labor.

Penalties for Plumbing Without a License

W. Va. Code 21-14-7 sets a graduated structure, and the first step is not a fine. Working without a license gets you a cease and desist order. The fines attach to continuing after that order.

The multiplier is the part people miss. Each day after official notice that a person does noncompliant plumbing work is a separate offense, so a two week job run after a cease and desist order is fourteen violations, not one.

Enforcement happens on site. Under W. Va. Code 21-14-5, the Commissioner or a Division compliance officer may, at reasonable hours, enter any building or premises where plumbing work is performed and issue a cease and desist order on the spot.

The Commissioner can also go to circuit court for an injunction, represented by the Attorney General, and can suspend or revoke a license for misstated qualifications or unsafe work (21-14-6).

Local Licenses and Permits

W. Va. Code 21-14-8 preempts local plumber licensing. On and after January 1, 2009, no city or county may require a holder of a valid Division plumber license to hold any other license or evidence of competence as a plumber as a condition of working there.

This preempts local plumber licensing only. Permits, inspections, business registration and the contractor license still apply, and under the Board's rule (28CSR2, section 4.4) a local building official may not issue a permit to anyone who lacks a contractor license the law requires. Our guide to state vs local contractor licenses covers how this plays out elsewhere.

What Changes When You Also Run a Plumbing Company

Under W. Va. Code 30-42-3(d), a contractor is a person who, for compensation and other than as an employee of another, undertakes or bids construction work where the cost of the undertaking is $5,000 or more for residential work or $25,000 or more for commercial work. The same section defines the plumbing contractor classification to include gas piping, chilled water piping and hot water heating piping as well as ordinary plumbing.

The Division's FAQ applies the threshold directly: a residential project of $5,000 or more, or a commercial project of $25,000 or more, requires a contractor license with the Plumbing classification. Critically, the FAQ measures the total contract amount, not just the plumbing portion. A $60,000 kitchen remodel where you do $6,000 of plumbing is measured against the $60,000.

The statute sets the license fee at no more than $150 (30-42-7(a)), and the Board's rule sets the annual fee at $90 (28CSR2, section 5.4). The license renews every year; a renewal more than 15 days late carries a $25 penalty. Contracting without a required license draws a Board cease and desist order and, after a hearing, a penalty of $200 to $1,000 (28CSR2, section 7.1), and the Board can discipline a licensed contractor with a fine of up to $1,000 or a suspension or revocation (W. Va. Code 30-42-15). For how dollar triggers compare across states, see what is the monetary limit on a contractor license.

A 2026 bill proposed changing the residential figure. House Bill 5489, introduced February 13, 2026, would have amended 30-42-3 to raise it from $5,000 to $10,000. It was referred to House Government Organization that same day and has not advanced further, so the threshold remains $5,000 residential and $25,000 commercial.

The Plumbing Contractor and Contractor Licensing Act Exams

A plumbing company's qualifier passes two Prov exams: the Plumbing Contractor trade exam and the Contractor Licensing Act exam. The details below come from the Board's Candidate Information Bulletin dated May 7, 2026.

Plumbing Contractor: open book, cut score 70%. The subject weighting is Water Supply and Distribution (14 questions), Drain, Waste and Vent Systems (14), Isometrics (13), General Knowledge (10), Fuel Gas Systems (10), Plumbing Math (9), Safety (7), Water Heaters (7), Fixtures and Fittings (6), Storm Drainage (5) and Plumbing Tools (5). The references are the 2018 International Plumbing Code (53% of questions), Plumbing Basics for Contractors (37%) and the 2018 International Fuel Gas Code (10%).

Contractor Licensing Act: drawn from W. Va. Code Chapter 30, Article 42 (37 questions), Title 28 Legislative Rule Series 2 (10), Title 28 Procedural Rule Series 4 on written contracts for services (24), and W. Va. Code Chapter 21, Article 11A on notice and opportunity to cure construction defects (19).

Each exam costs $59.95, first attempt or retake, with no waiting period between attempts, at the same four West Virginia test centers (Charleston, Martinsburg, Morgantown and Wheeling) or by remote proctoring. The Board also reviews exam score reports from other states and accredited national testing organizations for a current full time employee or a member of responsible management; email CLBoard@wv.gov.

Getting the Company Licensed, Step by Step

The Board's own step by step guide says the first six steps below must be complete before you file the application:

1. Confirm the classification. Email your scope of work to CLBoard@wv.gov so the Board can confirm the classification and the exams you need. The Board's bulletin warns that the fee for a wrong exam is not refunded.
2. Pass the exams with Prov. The person testing must be an officer, member, owner, or a full time employee of the company. Payroll records are required as proof for a full time employee.
3. Get a Business Registration Tax Number from the West Virginia State Tax Department.
4. Register with the Secretary of State if your entity type requires it.
5. Show workers' compensation, unemployment and general liability coverage for your West Virginia operations.
6. File the wage bond status affidavit, confirming status with the Division's Wage and Hour Section for commercial work with employees.
7. Apply online or by mail with the qualifier's affidavit and the annual fee.
8. Put your license number on every bid. W. Va. Code 30-42-12 requires it on any bid submission, and a subcontractor must give its license number to the contractor before the contract is awarded.

Want the Application Done for You?

Those eight steps, and the six prerequisites inside them, are where most delays happen, not at the exam. If you would rather hand the company's contractor license application to someone who prepares these filings for a living, License Application Processing does the work: an eligibility audit before anything is filed, a document checklist worked through with you, every Board form prepared and reviewed line by line, submission the way the Board requires, and the Board's paperwork questions answered and resubmitted until the Board decides.

It is a flat $999 per state application, paid up front. State fees, exam fees, background checks and fingerprinting are paid to the state and to Prov, not to us. The service does not promise approval or a date, and it does not sit the Plumbing Contractor or Contractor Licensing Act exam for anyone; the Board still decides, and the company still needs a qualifier who has passed both exams. Call 615-219-2110 or start at License Application Processing.

Who Can Qualify a West Virginia Plumbing Company?

The contractor license rests on a person, called the qualifier, whose exam scores carry the company. The Board's Candidate Information Bulletin sets the ground rules: the qualifying individual must be part of responsible management or a full time employee of the entity seeking licensure. A company can have multiple qualifiers, but backups are not allowed.

The Board's rule, 28CSR2 section 5.3, spells out how far one set of scores reaches:

• The qualifier signs an affidavit certifying the use of his or her exam score for the company.
• A qualifier who is part of responsible management may use the same score to qualify another entity only where he or she is also part of that entity's responsible management.
• A full time employee may not use the same score to qualify a second company as a full time employee of that company. If the employee leaves, the score can qualify a company where he or she is part of responsible management.
• If a qualifier leaves, the company must name a replacement within 45 calendar days, or the classification can be removed or the license inactivated.

The statute adds a separate limit on the license itself: under W. Va. Code 30-42-7(b), "a license holder may hold a license on behalf of only one business entity during a given time period." The Board's rule defines the license holder as the member of responsible management who signs the application for the company (28CSR2, section 3.22), so the license holder and the qualifier are not always the same person. Since June 12, 2026, Senate Bill 553 also lets a license holder apply to transfer the license to an immediate family member (a spouse, child, sibling or parent), and lets that family member apply within one year after a license holder's death or permanent incapacity, but the family member must pass the Board's exams within one year of the transfer to keep it.

Put together, a West Virginia plumbing company needs a real person inside the business, an owner or officer in management or a full time employee on payroll, who has passed both exams. The Board's rule defines a full time employee as one who works at least 30 hours a week under the contractor's control and supervision (28CSR2, section 3.18), and the Board asks for payroll records to prove it.

That is the whole reason the qualifying agent profession exists. When an owner has the crews, the customers and the work but nobody in the building holds the right exam results, one answer is to bring in a qualified individual as a full time W-2 employee who actually works in and supervises the business. That is the only model The Licensing Company builds, under the direction of industry authorities and founders Marshall Schofield and Jeremiah Jaskulski. Read what a qualifying agent is and our West Virginia qualifying individual guide for the details.

If you are on the other side of that equation, a master plumber with the exam results and no interest in running a company, becoming a qualifying agent turns the credentials you already hold into a full time employment position.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to get a plumbing license in West Virginia?

The Division's license fee is $75 for Master or Journeyman and $25 for Plumber in Training, plus $59.95 per Prov exam for Master and Journeyman. If your company also needs the contractor license, add two Prov exams at $59.95 each and the Board's $90 annual fee, which 30-42-7 caps at $150. Beyond government and vendor fees, License Application Processing is a flat $999 per state application if you want the company filing done for you.

How long does it take to become a master plumber in West Virginia?

W. Va. Code 21-14-2(c) bars the master exam until one year after you pass the journeyman exam, so the shortest path is pass journeyman, wait a full year, then sit for master. Division processing time comes on top of that.

Do I need to go to plumbing school in West Virginia?

No. Neither the statute nor the Division's rule (42CSR32) requires a specific school, program or set number of training hours. The state cares about the exam score and the experience you certify on the application; a trade school, a union program or on the job training with an employer can all supply that experience, and the state sets no price for any of them.

What is the difference between a plumbing certificate and a plumbing license in West Virginia?

They are the same credential. W. Va. Code Chapter 21, Article 14 calls it a plumber license, and the Division's own site calls the identical credential a certification. Either name means the Plumber in Training, Journeyman or Master credential issued by the Division of Labor, not a class completion certificate.

What is the difference between a plumber and a plumbing contractor in West Virginia?

A plumber is a person the Division of Labor licenses to perform plumbing work. A plumbing contractor is a company the Contractor Licensing Board licenses to take on plumbing jobs above the $5,000 residential or $25,000 commercial threshold. A plumber license never authorizes a company to contract, and a contractor license never authorizes a person to do the plumbing work without a plumber license of their own.

Where can I take the Prov exams for a West Virginia plumbing license?

Prov runs West Virginia test centers in Charleston, Martinsburg, Morgantown and Wheeling, and also offers remote online proctoring. Register at 866-720-7768.

Do I need a plumber license if I subcontract all the plumbing work?

No. The Division's FAQ says a plumber license is only required for the person who does the plumbing work. Each worker still needs one, and your company still needs the contractor license if the contract crosses the threshold.

Do I need a city plumbing license in Charleston, Huntington or Morgantown?

For plumber licensing, no. W. Va. Code 21-14-8 bars any city or county from requiring a separate plumber license from a holder of a valid state license, though local permits and inspections still apply.

Is the $5,000 residential threshold changing?

A 2026 bill proposed it. House Bill 5489, introduced February 13, 2026 by Delegate Campbell, would have amended 30-42-3 to raise the residential figure from $5,000 to $10,000. Its last action was referral to House Government Organization that same day, and it has not become law, so the threshold remains $5,000 residential and $25,000 commercial.

What does the Plumber in Training level let me do?

It is the entry level, with no exam, only the application and the $25 fee. The Division describes a person with interest and aptitude who alone is not capable of performing plumbing work, so you work under the direct supervision of a journeyman or master, who may oversee no more than three trainees.

Does West Virginia accept a plumbing license from another state?

Sometimes, at the Commissioner's discretion: a plumber licensed at least one year in a state with equivalent requirements who becomes a West Virginia resident may be licensed without exam (42CSR32 section 14, W. Va. Code 21-17-3). If you worked at least two years in a state that does not license plumbers, W. Va. Code 21-17-4 offers a work experience route. For the company license, the Board has plumbing reciprocity with Ohio and Tennessee.

How do I check whether a plumber or plumbing company is licensed?

The Division of Labor's plumber page links a license search for individual plumbers, and the Contractor Licensing Board's site has a contractor license search for companies. Check both.
