In Florida, general contractors must hold either a certified or registered license from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) Construction Industry Licensing Board. A certified contractor can work in any jurisdiction in the state, while a registered contractor may only work in the specific jurisdiction where they are registered. Before hiring, verify the contractor's license status through the state's official license search portal at myfloridalicense.com.

Orlando requires permits for most construction projects. When you hire a contractor, ask them to confirm what permits your specific project needs and whether they will obtain them on your behalf or expect you to do so. The City of Orlando's Permits and Inspections office can help you determine permit requirements before you hire.

All contractors must comply with the Florida Building Code. Ask your contractor whether they are familiar with the current code requirements for your project type and whether they stay current with code updates. A reliable contractor will be able to answer questions about code-related specifications that affect your scope of work.
