In Florida, general contractors are regulated by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). A general contractor is any person who undertakes, for compensation, to construct, repair, alter, remodel, add to, or improve buildings or structures for others. Before hiring, you should verify that your contractor holds the proper license.

Contractors in Florida are classified as either certified or registered. A certified contractor possesses a certificate of competency from the department and can contract anywhere in the state. A registered contractor has registered with the department for specific jurisdictions only. You can search for an active license and check a contractor's status on the DBPR website using the license search tool by the contractor's name, license number, or city.

Florida building projects are subject to the Florida Building Code. When planning work, discuss permit requirements with your contractor early; most renovation and construction work will require permits and inspections. Ask your contractor how they handle permits, timelines, and communication throughout the project.
