The Georgia Department of Public Health states plainly that indoor air quality is not a regulated programme and that the branch offers no specific services related to indoor mold growth. It adds that mold inspection, testing and remediation practices have no enforceable state or federal standards.
That leaves the contractor's own credential doing all the work. There is no state register to check, so ask which body certified the crew and to what standard, and expect the answer to be IICRC S520 or nothing.

Georgia issues no credential of its own, so the contractor's certification is doing all the work. Ask which body certified the crew and to what standard, and expect IICRC S520 for mold or S500 for water. Then ask for proof of liability cover, because in Georgia nothing else is being checked on your behalf.
With no state credential to pay for, Georgia pricing tracks the national ranges closely. That cuts both ways, because the cheapest quote and the most careful crew are indistinguishable on paper here.
Drying itself is priced the same in Georgia as anywhere else; the published national ranges are on the pricing page.
Metro guides for Georgia publish once three local facts can be sourced for a city: named operators, local flood risk and the county permit office. Until then the Georgia position above is the state-level answer, and the national guides below cover cost and process.
Georgia does not regulate mold work: the state health department says indoor air quality is not a regulated programme.
