Florida requires plumbers to hold a license from the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR) Construction Industry Licensing Board. Contractors are designated as either certified (license code beginning with C) or registered (license code beginning with R). Certified contractors may work anywhere in Florida; registered contractors may work only in their registered jurisdiction. You can verify any plumber's license status by searching the DBPR's online licensing portal at myfloridalicense.com.

Before hiring, search for the plumber's name or license number on the DBPR website to confirm active status and check for any disciplinary history. Ask whether the contractor holds a certified or registered license and in which jurisdiction they are registered. Confirm that they carry workers' compensation insurance, which you can verify through the Construction Policy Tracking Database.

Florida Building Code requirements apply to plumbing work. Significant plumbing projects—such as whole-house repiping, water heater installation, or drain work—may require permits and inspections. Ask your plumber whether permits are needed for your specific project and whether they will handle obtaining them. The Florida Building Code Online (floridabuilding.org) provides code resources and amendments for your area.
