In Florida, general contractors are regulated by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB). The board oversees two main contractor types: certified contractors, who hold a statewide certificate of competency and can work in any Florida jurisdiction; and registered contractors, who register with the department to meet a specific jurisdiction's competency requirements and may only work there. You can verify any contractor's license and status through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation's license search tool at myfloridalicense.com.

When you hire a general contractor, ask whether they hold a certified or registered license—this affects where and how they can legally operate. You should also ask which parts of your project they will self-perform and which they will subcontract. Understanding their scope and whether they handle the work directly or manage subcontractors helps you know who is responsible for different parts of the job.

Florida projects are subject to the Florida Building Code. Before work begins, confirm with your contractor whether permits are needed for your scope and who will obtain them. Ask the contractor to explain how their approach meets code requirements for your specific project.
