In Florida, contractors in the construction industry—including those doing landscape work—may be subject to state licensing and regulation by the Construction Industry Licensing Board under the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR). Before hiring, you can verify whether a landscaper holds a state license by searching the DBPR's online license portal at myfloridalicense.com. The search allows you to look up a contractor by name, license number, or city. This step helps you confirm a contractor's credentials and check their disciplinary history.

Contractors in Florida are classified in two ways: certified contractors, who hold a certificate of competency and may work in any jurisdiction in the state, and registered contractors, who have registered with the department for specific jurisdictions and may only contract in those areas. Certified contractors' occupation codes begin with the letter C, while registered contractors' codes begin with R. When you contact a landscaper, ask whether they hold a state license and what type it is—this tells you whether they meet statewide standards or local competency requirements.

Landscape projects in Florida must comply with the Florida Building Code. Depending on your project's scope—whether it involves hardscaping, irrigation installation, tree removal, or structural work—permitting and code compliance may apply. Before signing a contract, ask your landscaper whether permits are required for your specific project and whether they handle permit applications or if that is your responsibility. The Florida Building Code resources are available online at floridabuilding.org if you need to understand requirements for your area.
