In Florida, general contractors are regulated by the Construction Industry Licensing Board under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). Before hiring, you can verify any contractor's license status online through the state's license search portal at myfloridalicense.com. The search allows you to look up contractors by name, license number, or city to confirm their licensing and check for any disciplinary history.

Florida recognizes two main contractor license types: certified contractors, who hold a certificate of competency and can work in any Florida jurisdiction, and registered contractors, who have met competency requirements for specific jurisdictions only. When you call a contractor, ask which type of license they hold and for their license number so you can verify it independently.

All construction work in Florida must comply with the Florida Building Code. For major projects, permits are typically required, and your contractor should handle the permit application process. Before starting work, clarify with your contractor whether they will pull permits and manage inspections, and ask how they plan to ensure the project meets current building-code requirements.
