Well permit planner
Pick a state to see who licenses well drillers and the official permit page.
Choose a state to see the rules we verified and official links. Or search your city, county or ZIP.
How to use it
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.
The planner is a reading aid. It repeats the agency, the credential or court, and the official link stored for that state. It does not file a form, check a live license, or decide a dispute. Open the state pages for the longer explanation and the source links, or search a city or ZIP to find the state guide.
If a field says it was not published, we did not verify that number or roster. Use the official page named on the state guide, and send us a correction if the agency has posted an update.
What this tool will not do
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.
