Hiring an Electrician in Jacksonville Beach, Florida

In Florida, electrical contractors must hold a license from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). There are different license types: an EC (Electrical Contractor) license allows work on electrical wiring, fixtures, appliances, apparatus, raceways, and conduit, including electrical installations and systems within plants and substations. Before hiring, verify the contractor's license number through the DBPR's license search portal at myfloridalicense.com.

Electrical work in Florida may require permits depending on the scope of the job and local jurisdiction rules. The Florida Building Code governs electrical installations. When you contact an electrician, ask whether the work you need will require a permit—this protects you and ensures the work meets code.

When calling an electrician, confirm their license type matches your project scope and ask whether they will obtain and manage permits or if you will need to apply for them separately.

How do I verify an electrician's Florida license?

Visit the DBPR license search at myfloridalicense.com. You can search by the contractor's name or license number. Verify the license is current and matches the type of work you need. [1, 2]

What license type do I need to look for?

An EC (Electrical Contractor) license allows the holder to conduct business in the electrical trade, including installation, repair, alteration, and design of electrical wiring, fixtures, appliances, apparatus, raceways, and conduit. [1]

Will my electrical work require a permit?

Permit requirements depend on the scope of work and your local jurisdiction. Electrical work in Florida is governed by the Florida Building Code. Ask your electrician whether your specific job requires a permit. [3, 4]

Should I ask the electrician about permits?

Yes. Ask upfront whether the work requires a permit and who will be responsible for obtaining it—the contractor or you. This ensures the work will comply with code and avoid legal or insurance issues. [1, 3]
