In Florida, general contractors must be licensed through the Construction Industry Licensing Board under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. There are two main license types: a certified contractor, who holds a certificate of competency and may work anywhere in the state, and a registered contractor, who has met the requirements of a specific jurisdiction and may only contract in that jurisdiction. The license type determines where and how broadly a contractor can operate.

Before hiring, verify the contractor's license status using the DBPR's online license search at myfloridalicense.com. You can search by the contractor's name, license number, or city. This confirms the license is active and in good standing. Ask the contractor directly for their license type and number—whether they hold a certified (C-code) or registered (R-code) designation—so you know the scope of their authority.

Florida follows the Florida Building Code for all construction work. Any remodel, addition, or structural project likely requires permits and adherence to the code. Ask your contractor whether the project scope will need permits and what code compliance steps they follow. A licensed contractor should be familiar with these requirements for work in Fort Lauderdale.
