Before calling a plumber, verify their license with Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation. You can search by the contractor's name or license number on the DBPR website at myfloridalicense.com. This confirms the plumber holds an active license and has no disciplinary record.

Florida plumbers hold either a certified or registered license. A certified contractor may work throughout the state; a registered contractor is limited to the jurisdiction where they are registered. Both types must display their license number, which you should ask for and check.

Plumbing work in Florida may require permits depending on the scope of the job. The Florida Building Code governs plumbing installations and repairs. When you call a plumber, ask whether the work needs a permit and whether they will handle the permit application and inspections.
