In Florida, general contractors must be licensed through the Construction Industry Licensing Board under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The state recognizes two main contractor types: certified contractors, who hold a statewide certificate of competency and may work anywhere in Florida; and registered contractors, who have met competency requirements for a specific jurisdiction and may contract only there. A contractor's license type determines where and how broadly they can work.

Before hiring, verify the contractor's license status through the DBPR license search at myfloridalicense.com. You can search by the contractor's name, license number, or city. This step confirms the contractor is properly licensed and in good standing.

Florida building projects require compliance with the Florida Building Code. Permits are typically required for remodels, additions, and new builds. Ask your contractor whether they handle permitting and what their role is—whether they self-perform work or use subcontractors. Understanding the scope of work and who is responsible for what helps ensure the project stays on track and meets code.
