How to Get A Florida Registered Contractor License 

Getting a Florida registered contractor license can be a daunting task, if you are not familar with the process. Florida has a set of guidelines for registered contractors.  

 When it comes to becoming a Florida Registered Contractor, there are a few requirements that the state has before you are handed a license. Registered Contractors are required to meet local requirements for different counties and municipalities, along with obtaining a Local Competency Card and Occupational License. The competency card must be registered with Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. 

 A Registered Contractor may only work in the county to which they have received their competency card. Certified Contractors can take work anywhere in the state. 

1. To be considered for a Registered Contractor license, you must have: Workers’ Compensation (or exempt forms), Liability, and Property Damage Insurance. 

1. You must also provide a credit report, proof of satisfaction of liens and any judgments, along with the ability to prove your financial stability, and proper net worth requirements set under Rule 61G4-15.005, FAC. 

Obtaining a Registered Contractor License is a little easier than going through the Certified contractor process, as it has a few less requirements. Although, both types of licenses require many of the same steps.
