In Florida, the construction industry is a billion-dollar segment with tens of thousands of licensed professionals involved. A fundamental part of this profitable industry, remodeling focuses on structurally changing the functionality and design of a constructed area.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In this article, you will find the steps to obtain a remodeling license in Florida.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Florida Statutes \u00a7 489.105 (3) defines a contractor as a qualified person “who, for compensation, undertakes to, submits a bid to, or does himself or herself or by others construct, repair, alter, remodel, add to, demolish, subtract from, or improve any building or structure, including related improvements to real estate<\/a>, for others or for resale to other.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Depending on the type of work a remodeling professional intends to perform, it is possible to apply for licensing at the state or local level. The requirements vary slightly, but the process has more similarities than changes.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Applicants who opt for state licensing can file for registration with the Florida Department of Business<\/a> and Professional Regulation (DBPR).

Registered contractors may contract only in such jurisdictions.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While the requirements to get a Registered Contractor license vary from one local government to another, the general requirements include:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Waste no time with uncertainty.
