In Florida, landscapers who perform construction work—such as hardscaping, irrigation installation, or structural improvements to real property—may be required to hold a state license. The Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board regulates the construction industry and issues two main types of licenses: certified and registered. A certified contractor holds a certificate of competency and may work anywhere in the state. A registered contractor must meet competency requirements specific to the jurisdiction where they work and can only contract within that jurisdiction. Before hiring, ask whether the landscaper holds a license and what type it is.

You can verify a landscaper's license status through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) online license search portal at myfloridalicense.com. Search by the business name, the contractor's name, license number, or city. This search will confirm whether the contractor is currently licensed and in good standing. It's a simple way to protect yourself and ensure the person you hire meets state requirements.

When planning a landscaping project in Tampa that involves construction or structural work, be aware that Florida Building Code applies to your project. Ask your landscaper whether permits are needed and whether the work must comply with the current Florida Building Code. Understanding these requirements upfront helps avoid delays and ensures the work is done safely and legally.
