Hiring a Landscaper in Tallahassee, Florida
In Florida, many landscape contractors must be licensed through the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), depending on the scope of their work. Before hiring, verify that any contractor you contact holds the appropriate license for your project. You can search for an active license by name, license number, or city using the DBPR's online license search tool at myfloridalicense.com.
Florida's licensing system distinguishes between certified and registered contractors. A certified contractor holds a statewide certificate of competency and may work throughout Florida; a registered contractor has met requirements for a specific jurisdiction only. When you call a landscaper, ask whether they hold a license for Tallahassee and what type it is.
Depending on your project's scope—such as hardscaping, irrigation, or significant grading—you may need a permit. Ask your landscaper whether permits are required for your work and whether they handle permitting. Projects affecting drainage, grading, or structures may also need to comply with Florida's building code. The DBPR and local building officials can clarify code requirements for your job.
Do all landscapers in Florida need a license?
Many do, depending on the scope of work. The Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board regulates contractors whose job scope matches specific descriptions. Not all landscape work requires licensing, but hardscaping, significant grading, and structural improvements may. Ask your contractor about their license status and what work they're qualified to perform. [1]
How can I verify a landscaper's license?
Use the DBPR's online license search at myfloridalicense.com. You can search by the contractor's name, license number, or city. The search will show whether the license is active and what type it is (certified or registered). [2]
What is the difference between a certified and registered contractor?
A certified contractor holds a statewide certificate of competency and may work anywhere in Florida. A registered contractor has met competency requirements for a specific jurisdiction—such as Tallahassee—and may only work in that jurisdiction. When hiring, ask which type of license your contractor holds. [1]
Will my landscaping project need a permit?
Depending on the scope, yes. Projects involving grading, drainage, hardscaping, or structural improvements often require permits. When you contact a landscaper, ask whether a permit is needed for your work and whether they obtain permits or if you must. [3]
What should I ask a landscaper before hiring?
Ask whether they hold a current license in Tallahassee, what type it is, and whether they can provide the license number. Also ask whether your project requires a permit and who handles permitting. If your work involves grading, drainage, or structures, ask how they ensure compliance with Florida's building code. [1, 2, 3]
