In Florida, general contractors must be licensed by the Construction Industry Licensing Board under the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Before hiring, verify that a contractor holds the proper license—either a certified contractor license (with an occupation code beginning with C) or a registered contractor license (code beginning with R). You can search for a contractor's license status using the state's online license search at myfloridalicense.com.

Most construction projects in Florida require permits. Your contractor should handle permit applications as part of the project scope and coordinate with local building officials. The Florida Building Code governs construction standards statewide, and contractors must ensure work meets code requirements for safety and structural integrity.

When interviewing a contractor, ask whether they will self-perform work or use subcontractors, and confirm that anyone working on your project carries workers' compensation insurance. These details clarify who is responsible for different phases and protect you if an injury occurs on site.
