Georgia Home Job Readiness Grade 2026: D (3 of 6 points)

This grade is a compilation of statute text and official state pages, reviewed 24 October 2026. It is not legal advice.

How did each measure score?

Statutory deposit limit: 0 of 2 points

No statutory deposit limit was found in the official sources reviewed 22 October 2026. Not found means not found in the sources checked; it is not an official statement that the state has no cap.

Official sources reviewed: source 1, source 2

Written-contract rule for home-improvement work: Not scored

Not scored: written-contract rule for home-improvement work - official text not captured as of 24 October 2026.

Statutory right to cancel: 1 of 2 points

The state-law cancel right on file covers a narrow case only, such as credit sales or insurance-paid roof work.

Business must accept the cancellation of the contract by the homeowner prior to midnight on the fifth business day after such homeowner has received written notice from the insurer that all or any part of the claim or contract related to the natural disaster is not a covered loss under the homeowner's insurance policy.

Online public record of the state's home-contractor credential: 2 of 2 points

The state publishes an online public record of its statewide home-contractor credential. A lookup is an optional public-record step.

From the main menu, choose "Licensing," then click on "Licensee Search."

What is not scored, and why?

A measure we could not settle from official text is not scored: it leaves both the points earned and the points possible, so it never counts against a state.

Is there a federal rule too?

Federal rule, not scored here: 16 CFR 429.1(a), the FTC door-to-door sales rule, covers a sale the seller personally solicits that is agreed at a place other than the seller's place of business, for $25 or more at the buyer's home or $130 or more elsewhere, with exceptions in 16 CFR 429.0. For those sales it requires this statement in the buyer's contract or receipt:

You, the buyer, may cancel this transaction at any time prior to midnight of the third business day after the date of this transaction.

Source: 16 CFR 429.1(a), eCFR, read 22 October 2026
