In Florida, plumbing contractors must be licensed by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). Contractors are designated either as certified or registered. A certified contractor holds a statewide certificate and may work anywhere in Florida. A registered contractor is approved for specific jurisdictions only. Before hiring, confirm which type of license the plumber holds.

You can verify a plumber's license status through the DBPR online license search at myfloridalicense.com. Search by the contractor's name, license number, or city. This step ensures the plumber is in good standing and authorized to work in your area.

In Orlando, most plumbing work requires a permit from the City of Orlando's Permits & Inspections office. The contractor you hire should handle permit applications and coordinate inspections with the city. Building code compliance is enforced through the Florida Building Code, which all plumbing work must meet. Ask your plumber whether they are familiar with current code requirements and whether their estimate includes permit costs and inspection fees.
