In Florida, plumbers and contractors fall under the oversight of the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB), part of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Contractors must be either certified (allowed to work in any Florida jurisdiction) or registered (allowed to work only in the jurisdiction where they registered). Jacksonville enforces the Florida Building Code 8th Edition (2023), which you can access free online at floridabuilding.org.

Before hiring, verify a contractor's license status through the DBPR online license search at myfloridalicense.com. You can search by name, license number, city, or license type. Jacksonville's Building Inspection Division enforces the code and issues permits; they are located at 214 North Hogan Street and can be reached at 904-255-8500 or BIDDocuments@coj.net during business hours (Monday–Friday, 7 AM–4 PM).

When you contact a plumber, ask whether they hold a current state license, what type (certified or registered), and their license number. Most plumbing work in residential settings requires a permit from Jacksonville.
