In Florida, general contractors must be licensed through the Construction Industry Licensing Board under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The board oversees two main types of contractor licenses: certified contractors, who can work anywhere in the state, and registered contractors, who are limited to the jurisdiction where they registered. Before hiring, verify that your contractor holds the appropriate license for the scope of work you're planning.

You can search for an active license on the Florida DBPR online portal by contractor name, license number, or city. This search confirms current licensure status and helps ensure the contractor is in good standing. It's also worth checking the contractor's workers' compensation coverage status through Florida's Construction Policy Tracking Database.

Florida Building Code requirements apply to most projects. Depending on your scope—whether it's new construction, remodeling, additions, or demolition—permits and code compliance reviews will be necessary. Ask your contractor how they handle permitting, inspections, and adherence to the current Florida Building Code to understand the full timeline and process.
