In Florida, electrical contractors are licensed and regulated by the Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). Before hiring an electrician, verify their license on the state licensing portal at myfloridalicense.com. You can search by the contractor's name, license number, or city to confirm their credentials and check for any disciplinary history.

Electrical work in Palm Beach County typically requires a permit from the county's Building Division. Most installations, repairs, and alterations to electrical systems need approval before work begins. The Palm Beach County Building Division is located at 2300 N. Jog Road in West Palm Beach and is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can apply for permits online or in person. Your electrician should be familiar with permit requirements for your specific project.

When requesting an estimate, ask whether the contractor holds an active electrical license and what type—whether they are a general electrical contractor (EC) or registered electrical contractor (ER) limited to specific jurisdictions. Confirm that they will handle or coordinate all necessary permits and inspections for your project. It's also wise to ask about their experience with work similar to yours, whether residential or commercial.
