In Florida, electricians must hold a license issued by the Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR) Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board. The main license type for electrical contractors is EC (Electrical Contractor), which allows work on electrical systems including wiring, fixtures, appliances, and more. You can verify any electrician's license by searching the DBPR online services portal at myfloridalicense.com using the contractor's name or license number.

Before hiring an electrician, ask whether they hold an active Florida EC license and confirm the license number matches DBPR records. Electrical work in Florida is governed by the Florida Building Code, so any major installation or alteration should comply with current code standards. It's also wise to confirm that the contractor carries appropriate insurance and will obtain any required permits for the work.

Many electrical jobs require permits from the local building authority. Ask your electrician upfront whether permits apply to your project and who will handle the application and inspection process. This protects both you and the contractor by ensuring work meets code.
