In Florida, electrical contractors must be licensed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation's Electrical Contractors Licensing Board. The main license type for general electrical work is EC (Electrical Contractor), which allows the contractor to install, repair, alter, and design electrical wiring, fixtures, and systems. Before hiring, verify that your contractor holds a current EC or ER (Registered Electrical Contractor) license; registered contractors are limited to the specific cities or counties where they're registered. You can check any contractor's license status through the Florida DBPR license search portal at myfloridalicense.com.

Most electrical work in residential homes requires a permit from your local building department. Check with the City of Fort Lauderdale or your county building authority to learn what work on your project needs a permit and inspection. Your electrician should be familiar with Florida's Building Code requirements, which govern everything from wiring and grounding to the installation of fixtures and systems. Ask your contractor whether they'll handle the permitting process or if you'll need to apply yourself.

When you call, ask whether the contractor is licensed in Broward County (where Fort Lauderdale is located) and what types of work they specialize in. Confirm they're comfortable with your specific project—some contractors focus on new construction while others prefer service and repair work. Always request references and verify their license before signing a contract.
