Landscaping work in Florida may require permits depending on the scope. For significant projects involving construction or alterations to real property, a contractor license may be required. The Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) regulates contractors in Florida and distinguishes between certified contractors—who can work anywhere in the state—and registered contractors, who may contract only in specific jurisdictions where they are registered. Before hiring, verify whether your project falls under licensing requirements.

Homeowners should check a contractor's license status through Florida's official license search portal. This helps confirm that a contractor is in good standing and authorized to perform work in your area. You can search by the contractor's name, license number, city, or county. It is also wise to ask the contractor directly whether they hold a license for your jurisdiction and what their license type is.
