Florida electricians must hold a license issued by the Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR). The state recognizes several license types: an Electrical Contractor (EC) can work on all electrical systems; a Registered Electrical Contractor (ER) may only work in the cities and counties for which they are registered. Before hiring, verify the contractor's license through the DBPR online search at myfloridalicense.com.

Electrical work in Jacksonville follows the Florida Building Code, currently the 8th Edition (2023). Permits are required for most electrical installations and upgrades. The City of Jacksonville's Building Inspection Division enforces the code and processes permits through their online system, JaxEPICS. Most electrical work will need a permit and inspection before activation.

When calling an electrician, ask whether they hold an active license and for which jurisdiction. Confirm they can obtain or have already obtained the required permits for your project. Request references and clarify whether they carry liability insurance.
