In Florida, plumbers and other contractors are regulated by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). When hiring a plumber, you should verify their license before work begins. Florida issues two main types of contractor licenses: certified contractors, whose licenses begin with the letter C and who may work anywhere in the state, and registered contractors, who begin with R and may work only in the jurisdiction where they are registered. You can search for an active license and check a contractor's standing on the state's online licensing portal.

Before hiring, ask for the contractor's license number and look it up yourself using the DBPR's license search tool at myfloridalicense.com. This takes just a few minutes and confirms the license is current and in good standing. A valid license is your assurance that the contractor meets state competency standards.

For plumbing work in Florida, check whether your project requires a permit with your local building department. Florida follows the Florida Building Code, which sets standards for construction, repair, and alteration work. Many water heater installations and replacements require permits and inspections. Ask your plumber about permitting when you get a quote—a licensed contractor should handle this and ensure the work meets code.
