In Florida, general contractors must hold a state license issued by the Construction Industry Licensing Board under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Certified contractors hold a statewide license and can work anywhere in Florida; registered contractors are licensed only for the jurisdiction where they registered. You can verify any contractor's license and status through the online license search at MyFloridaLicense.com by searching by name, license number, or city.

Jacksonville enforces the Florida Building Code 8th Edition (2023). Most projects require a permit, which you submit online through JaxEPICS.coj.net. The City of Jacksonville Building Inspection Division, located at 214 North Hogan Street, reviews plans and conducts inspections; contact them at 904-255-8500 or BIDDocuments@coj.net with questions about permit requirements and code compliance for your specific project.

Before hiring, ask the contractor to confirm their license numbers, verify them on the state website, and discuss the scope of work—particularly whether they self-perform or use subcontractors. Clarify responsibility for obtaining permits and scheduling inspections, and confirm they understand the current building code in effect.
