In Florida, general contractors are regulated by the Construction Industry Licensing Board under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Before hiring, you can verify any contractor's license status online through the state's license search portal at myfloridalicense.com. This free tool lets you search by the contractor's name, license number, or city to confirm their credentials are current.

Florida recognizes two main contractor classifications: certified contractors, who can work anywhere in the state, and registered contractors, who are limited to specific jurisdictions where they registered. When you call for a quote, ask which type of license the contractor holds and whether it covers work in your county.

Most construction projects in Florida require permits and inspections to ensure compliance with the Florida Building Code. During your initial consultation, ask the contractor whether they handle permit applications and what the typical timeline and cost are. This helps you understand the full scope and schedule before signing a contract.
