In Florida, general contractors must be licensed through the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB). Contractors are either certified or registered. A certified contractor holds a statewide license and can work in any Florida jurisdiction; a registered contractor is licensed only for the specific jurisdiction where they registered. Before hiring, verify which type of license your contractor holds—the license type tells you where they're authorized to work.

You can look up any contractor's license status through the Florida DBPR's online license search at myfloridalicense.com. Search by the contractor's name, license number, city, or county to confirm their license is current and in good standing. This is a free public database.

Most renovation work in West Palm Beach requires permits and must comply with the Florida Building Code. Your contractor should handle permit applications and ensure the work meets code requirements. Before signing a contract, ask your contractor whether they hold the proper license type for your jurisdiction and which permits your project will need.
