In Florida, general contractors must hold a license from the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The state recognizes two license types: certified contractors, who can work anywhere in Florida, and registered contractors, who may only work in the jurisdiction where they are registered. A certified contractor's license begins with the letter C; a registered license begins with R. Before signing a contract, verify that your contractor holds the correct license type for your location and project scope.

You can look up any Florida contractor's license status on the DBPR website at https://www.myfloridalicense.com/wl11.asp. Search by the contractor's name or license number to confirm current licensure and check for any disciplinary history. This step takes minutes and protects you from unlicensed work.

Most construction projects in Florida require permits and must comply with the Florida Building Code. Your contractor should handle or coordinate permit applications as part of their scope. The state building code covers structural safety, electrical, plumbing, and other systems. Ask your contractor whether they pull permits, manage inspections, and ensure work meets current code standards.
