Florida electrical contractors must be licensed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) Electrical Contractors Licensing Board. The two main license types for residential work are Electrical Contractor (EC) and Registered Electrical Contractor (ER). A Registered Electrical Contractor (ER) must be registered for the specific cities and counties where they work. You can verify a contractor's license status using the DBPR license search tool at myfloridalicense.com.

Electrical work in Florida is subject to the Florida Building Code. When hiring an electrician, confirm they are familiar with current code requirements for your project type—whether new construction, remodeling, or repairs. Ask your contractor how they stay current with code changes, as these affect everything from wiring methods to safety systems.

Before hiring, ask to see proof of an active license for your county and ask what permits the project will require. The contractor should be able to explain which electrical work in Florida requires permits and which does not. This varies by jurisdiction and project scope, so clarification upfront prevents surprises.
