Hiring a general contractor in Tampa, Florida
In Florida, general contractors are licensed and regulated by the Construction Industry Licensing Board. The board distinguishes between certified contractors, who hold a certificate of competency and may contract in any jurisdiction statewide, and registered contractors, who register to meet competency requirements in a specific jurisdiction. You can verify any contractor's license through the Florida DBPR online license search tool at myfloridalicense.com by searching by name, license number, city, or county.
Before hiring a general contractor, confirm their license status and ask about permits and building code compliance. Florida has adopted a state building code that applies across the state, and contractors should be familiar with these requirements for your project type and scope.
How do I check if a Florida general contractor is licensed?
Visit the Florida DBPR license search portal at myfloridalicense.com. You can search by the contractor's name, license number, or business location. This will show you their license type and status. [1, 2]
What is the difference between a certified and registered contractor in Florida?
A certified contractor holds a statewide certificate of competency and may work in any Florida jurisdiction. A registered contractor has registered with the state to meet a specific jurisdiction's competency requirements and may only contract in that jurisdiction. [1]
Do general contractors in Florida need permits for most projects?
Florida follows a state building code that sets standards for construction projects. Your contractor should be familiar with permit and code requirements for your project type. Ask your contractor about permits before work begins. [3, 4]
What should I ask a general contractor before hiring?
Verify their license status online, ask for their license number, discuss permits and building code compliance for your specific project, confirm their scope of work, and understand the project timeline and payment terms. [1, 2]
