How our tools work

The planner shows the stored agency and credential. It does not query a live license database.

Ask the driller for the license number and check it on the official lookup before you pay a deposit.

Ask which office issues the construction permit. In some states that office is not the same one that licenses the driller.

Nothing you type into a tool is saved on our servers unless the tool says so. Letter builders and checklists run entirely in your browser.

Before you rely on a result

Licensing descriptions come from state agencies. We do not list private drillers or invent permit fees. This site is general information, not engineering, geological, or legal advice. Well construction rules are site-specific. Confirm the license, the permit, and setbacks with the official program before you drill.

Search is the right start when you know a city, county, or ZIP and need the matching state page. The planner is the right start when you already know the state and want the short list of official links. Guides explain the words those offices use. None of the three replaces the agency, court, or city office that enforces the rule.

If a number is missing, it stays missing. Well Driller List does not estimate fees, caps, deadlines, or roster status. The phrase “not published” means we did not find that figure on an official page we could verify. It does not mean the figure is zero, and it does not mean no rule exists. Open the linked government page and confirm it before you pay a fee, hire someone, or file a form.

Public pages move. When you spot a retired URL or a rule that has changed, use the contact form and include the new official link. We update a page after we can read the source, and we date the review.
