Florida requires electricians to hold a state license from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). The main license types are Electrical Contractor (EC) and Registered Electrical Contractor (ER). A Registered Electrical Contractor must register in the specific cities or counties where they work. Before hiring, verify that your electrician holds the proper license for the scope of work you need—you can search by name, license number, city, or license type on the DBPR online services portal at myfloridalicense.com.

Most electrical work in Florida requires a permit and must comply with the Florida Building Code. Inspections are typically required before, during, and after installation to ensure the work meets code. When you call an electrician, ask whether they'll handle permitting and inspections as part of their service, as this protects you and ensures the work is safe and legally compliant.

Ask your electrician what license type they hold and confirm it covers the work you need done. For example, a Registered Electrical Contractor may only work in the cities or counties listed on their registration. This is especially important for larger projects or specialty work. It's also worth discussing whether they perform preventative maintenance or inspections to catch problems early.
