In Florida, electrical contractors must hold a state license issued by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board. The main license type is the Electrical Contractor (EC) license, which allows work on electrical wiring, fixtures, appliances, systems, and related installations. You can verify a contractor's license on the DBPR website using the license search tool at myfloridalicense.com by entering their name or license number.

Jacksonville enforces the Florida Building Code (currently the 8th Edition, 2023). Most residential electrical work requires a permit before the job starts. The city's Building Inspection Division (located at 214 North Hogan Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202) handles permit applications, which must now be submitted online through JaxEPICS.coj.net. After completion, the work must pass inspection to confirm it meets code.

When hiring an electrician, ask to see their current state license and verify it through the DBPR. Confirm that they will pull permits for your project and schedule the required inspections. Understanding these steps protects your home and ensures the work is done safely and legally.
