In Florida, general contractors must be licensed by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB). The state recognizes two main contractor types: certified contractors, who hold a certificate of competency and may contract anywhere in Florida, and registered contractors, who must meet competency requirements for the specific jurisdiction where they work. Before hiring, verify that your contractor holds the appropriate license type and that it is current.

You can search for a contractor's license status through the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR) online services portal at myfloridalicense.com. This search tool lets you look up licensees by name, license number, city, or license type. Running this check before signing a contract protects you and ensures the contractor is authorized to work on your project.

Florida Building Code requirements apply to most construction work in the state. Your contractor should be familiar with the current Florida Building Code and any local amendments in Tampa. Many projects require permits and inspections; ask your contractor whether permits are needed for your scope of work and who will handle the permit applications and fees.
