Notes
South Carolina does not require a statewide occupational license for individual carpenters. General contractors performing work above $5,000 must be licensed by the South Carolina Contractor's Licensing Board (https://llr.sc.gov/clb/), but carpenters working as employees do not require a separate state license.
