Florida Contractor License Lookup
Checked 2026-11-13.
Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation publishes a license search used for construction licenses. Search the license number or the name, then read the license type and whether it is current. A state-certified license and a locally registered license are not the same record. Read the type on the result.
Counties and cities can still require a local registration or a permit. The state search does not replace the building department where the house is.
Verify this with the board or the city before you hire. Rules change, and a city or county can require its own license on top of a state record. This is general information, not legal advice.
