Notes
Louisiana does not require a statewide occupational license specifically for carpenters. Contractors performing work above $50,000 must be licensed by the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (https://www.lslbc.louisiana.gov), but individual carpenters are not separately licensed at the state level.
