Florida License FAQs
How Do I Get A Contractors License In Florida?
In order to get your contractor license in Florida, you must first pass your exams and go through the process conducted through the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board, which operates under the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). By allowing us to be the chosen provider for exam prep courses, continuing education credits and a variety of other courses, students can be assured they are receiving state and industry approved training.
Where Can I Find Exam Prep Books?
We offer a wide range of exam prep books for the construction fields. Visit our bookstore to begin.
How Much Does It Cost?
Licensing costs vary depending on the type of license you need. For example, some trades will cost more than others and some licenses, like the general contractors license, require additional certification. Those additional certifications add to the cost. If you have a specific question about the cost of study materials for your license, contact us. Our support team is here to help.
License Requirements
The Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board offers many different contractor license types. As different license types allow for varying work parameters, requirements and supporting documents may change slightly for your individual application process. However, the board will require most applicants to:
- Be 18 years of age.
- Show proof of financial solvency — Including submitting proof of a FICO credit score of a minimum of 660. You may purchase a surety bond if your credit score is lower.
- Scan and comply with an electronic fingerprint. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement offers a list of approved Livescan Device Vendors.
- Provide proof of general liability and workers’ compensation insurance.
- Pass a Florida State Construction Examination.
- Fill out your application.
- Pay all application and licensing fees.
- Several licenses, including the general contractor licenses below, will have additional requirements to be met.
Does A Handyman Need A License
According to Florida state law, a general handyman does not need a license to perform basic repair and maintenance tasks for homeowners. However, if an unlicensed handyman does work that falls into the scope of a licensed contractor, he or she is subject to fines and prosecution. It’s better to be safe than sorry if you’re considering handyman work, so check with your licensing department for specific rules.
Can I Get A Contractors License Without Experience?
According to the DBPR, applicants are required to have four years of experience or a combination of college and experience. Learn more at myfloridalicense.com.
Can I Get One With A Felony?
Yes, it is possible to get a contractor’s license in Florida if you are a convicted felon. According to thelienzone.com, there are some limitations that apply so be sure to check with your specific licensing department for a final verdict on your ability to get the license.
