In Florida, plumbers are regulated by the Construction Industry Licensing Board under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Before hiring any plumber, verify their license with the state. The DBPR maintains an online license search tool where you can look up contractors by name, license number, city or county, or license type. This allows you to confirm a plumber's credentials and check their status.

Florida recognizes two types of contractor licenses: certified contractors, who hold a statewide certificate of competency and may work anywhere in the state, and registered contractors, who are registered only for the jurisdictions where they meet local competency requirements. When you call a plumber, ask which type of license they hold and request their license number so you can verify it yourself.

Before work begins, discuss whether permits are required for your project. While the Florida Building Code and local building departments govern construction standards, permit requirements vary by jurisdiction and project scope. A licensed plumber should be able to advise you on whether your job needs a permit and, if so, handle the application process.
