Florida's Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board regulates electrical contractors. An electrical contractor must have the experience and knowledge to install, repair, alter, add to, or design electrical wiring, fixtures, appliances, apparatus, raceways, and conduit. There are two main license types for electrical contractors: EC (Electrical Contractor), which can work statewide, and ER (Registered Electrical Contractor), which can work only in specific cities or counties where registered. Before hiring, verify the contractor's license number and license type on the state licensing portal.

Jacksonville requires permits for electrical work. The City of Jacksonville Building Inspection Division enforces the Florida Building Code and handles all permits. Permit applications must now be submitted electronically through the city's online system, JaxEPICS. The division's office is open Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and you can reach them at 904-255-8500 or BIDDocuments@coj.net for questions about what permits your project needs.

When you contact an electrician, ask whether their license is an EC (statewide) or ER (registered to specific jurisdictions), and confirm they hold a current Florida license. Ask them to explain what permits and inspections your project requires under the Florida Building Code. This ensures the work will meet code and pass inspection.
