Before hiring a general contractor in Florida, verify their license with the state. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) maintains a searchable license database. You can look up a contractor by name or license number at the DBPR licensing portal to confirm active status and check for any disciplinary history.

Florida recognizes two main contractor license types: certified contractors, who can work statewide, and registered contractors, who are limited to specific jurisdictions. When speaking with a contractor, ask which type of license they hold and whether it covers your project location and scope.

Most construction projects in Florida require permits and must comply with the Florida Building Code. Ask your contractor whether they handle permits as part of their bid and what inspections the project will need. This ensures the work meets code and that your project flows smoothly from start to finish.
