In Florida, electrical contractors are licensed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). Before hiring, verify that the contractor holds an active license. There are several types of electrical contractor licenses: an EC (electrical contractor) can work anywhere in the state, while an ER (registered electrical contractor) can only work in the specific cities and counties for which they are registered. You can search for a licensed electrician by name, license number, or city on the DBPR's license search portal at myfloridalicense.com.

Most electrical work in Dania Beach requires a permit and must comply with the Florida Building Code. Ask your electrician whether a permit is needed for your job—this is often a sign they understand local requirements. Licensed electricians are familiar with these rules, so verify their license status before signing a contract.
