In Florida, general contractors must hold a license issued by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Contractors are either certified (allowed to work statewide) or registered (allowed to work only in their licensed jurisdiction). You can search for a contractor's license status on the DBPR website at myfloridalicense.com by name, license number, city, or license type.

Any construction project in Jacksonville requires a building permit. The City of Jacksonville's Building Inspection Division, which enforces the Florida Building Code (8th Edition, 2023), issues permits through an online system at JaxEPICS.coj.net. Permit applications must reference and comply with the current code. The division's office is open Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 4 PM, and can be reached at 904-255-8500 or BIDDocuments@coj.net if you have questions about permit requirements.

Before hiring, verify that your contractor holds the appropriate license tier for your project scope and confirm they understand the permits and inspections your work will require in Jacksonville.
