In Florida, general contractors must be licensed by the Construction Industry Licensing Board under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The first step is to verify that any contractor you consider holds a valid license. You can search for an active license on the state's online licensing portal by the contractor's name, license number, or city.

Florida recognizes two main contractor categories: certified contractors, who can work in any Florida jurisdiction; and registered contractors, who may work only in the jurisdictions where they registered. Before hiring, ask your contractor which type of license they hold and confirm the license status online to ensure it is current.

Most construction projects in Florida require permits and compliance with the Florida Building Code. Ask your contractor about permit timelines, who will obtain them, and what inspections the project will need. Understanding the contractor's experience with local permitting and code compliance helps avoid delays.
