The Plumbing family
DORA groups its license types into 40 families. This one holds 21,401 active licenses across 9 types.
423 of the 21,401 active licenses in the Plumbing family carry a disciplinary action in DORA's file — 2.0%.
This site publishes that count and no more: never who, and never a case number. DORA records the type of action and no reason at all, and the two most common entries statewide are a stipulation and a letter of admonition — agreed outcomes. Every license counted here is active. Why that line is drawn there.
