In Florida, general contractors must be licensed by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB). There are two main license types: certified contractors, who can work anywhere in the state, and registered contractors, who can work only in the jurisdictions where they are registered. You can verify a contractor's license status through the Florida DBPR online license search at myfloridalicense.com.

Jacksonville requires all construction projects to follow the Florida Building Code (currently the 8th Edition, 2023). Before starting work, most projects need a building permit from the City of Jacksonville's Building Inspection Division. Permits are now submitted electronically through JaxEPICS. When you call a contractor, ask whether they will handle permits or whether that responsibility falls to you.

When hiring, ask the contractor what their license type is (certified or registered), request their license number, and verify it online. Also confirm that they carry workers' compensation insurance. Discuss the project scope clearly so the contractor can assess whether the work falls within their licensed scope and whether permits will be required.
