In Florida, electrical contractors must hold a license from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board. The state offers several license types: an EC (Electrical Contractor) license allows work statewide, while an ER (Registered Electrical Contractor) license restricts work to specific cities or counties. Before hiring, verify that your electrician holds one of these licenses.

You can check a contractor's license status through the DBPR online license search portal at myfloridalicense.com. Search by the contractor's name or license number to confirm their license is active and in good standing. Jacksonville's Building Inspection Division enforces the Florida Building Code (currently the 8th Edition, 2023) and requires permits for electrical work. Most residential electrical projects require a permit before work begins.

When requesting a quote, ask the electrician whether their work will require a permit and who handles permit submission. Confirm they are familiar with the current Florida Building Code standards. You can reach Jacksonville's Building Inspection Division at 904-255-8500 during business hours (Monday–Friday, 7 AM–4 PM) if you have questions about permitting or code compliance for your project.
