Where can I verify a contractor's license?
Want to make sure your contractor is licensed in Florida? Here’s how you can check for yourself:
Head over to MyFloridaLicense.com, the official site for the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR).
Click on “Verify a License” or go directly to the License Search page.
Search using the contractor’s name, license number, or city/county.
Review the results:
Make sure the license is active.
Confirm the license type matches plumbing or general contracting.
Double-check that the expiration date is current.
You can also see if there are any complaints or disciplinary actions listed.
👉 Extra tip:
If nothing shows up in your search, that could mean the contractor is unlicensed. To report unlicensed activity, call the ULA hotline at 866-532-1440 or email ULA@myfloridalicense.com.
Where do I verify a contractor's business licence?
If your contractor is a corporation or LLC, you’ll also want to check them out on Sunbiz.org, Florida’s official business registry.
Here’s how:
Go to Sunbiz – Search Records.
Search by the business name or the officer/registered agent’s name.
Confirm a few key details:
The business status is marked ACTIVE.
The registered agent and entity details are accurate and up to date.
Sunbiz updates daily, so the information is fresh.
👉 For example, if you search “S.E. Tradesmen,” you’ll see our company listed as S.E. TRADESMEN LLC, along with all the official registration details.
Why hire a licensed contractor?
When you hire a licensed contractor, you’re not just paying for the work—you’re also getting important legal protections, financial safeguards, and peace of mind.
Legal Protection & Insurance Compliance
It’s the law. Florida Statute 489.103 requires most construction and repair work to be performed by licensed contractors. Acting as your own contractor is only allowed in very limited cases, with strict supervision requirements.
Insurance coverage. Many homeowner’s insurance policies won’t cover damage or accidents unless the work was performed by a licensed professional.
Contractors are insured. Licensed contractors are required to carry liability insurance, which means if something goes wrong—injuries, property damage, or accidents—it’s covered by their policy, not yours.
Financial Protection: Construction Recovery Fund
If a licensed contractor fails financially or violates the law, homeowners may be eligible to file a claim with the Homeowners’ Construction Recovery Fund, managed by the DBPR/UI Licensing Board. This safety net doesn’t exist if you hire an unlicensed contractor.
Permit Handling & Project Efficiency
Licensed contractors pull the required permits and coordinate inspections.
They know the local codes and requirements, which helps avoid delays and costly mistakes.
This is especially important for roofing, structural work, or any project that impacts safety and compliance.
Peace of Mind & Warranty Backing
Most licensed contractors offer workmanship warranties, giving you protection if issues come up later.
They are also accountable to state disciplinary boards, meaning if they don’t deliver, you can file a complaint and take action against their license.
✅ Bottom line: Hiring a licensed contractor protects you legally, financially, and practically. It’s not just about getting the job done—it’s about getting it done right, with your investment and your home protected every step of the way.
Can a handyman do plumbing work?
Florida does not issue a specific “handyman license.” But that doesn’t mean handymen can take on any project they choose. The state’s contractor licensing laws still apply, and there are clear limits on what work can be performed without holding a contractor’s license.
In general:
Handymen in Florida are limited to minor repair and maintenance tasks.
The total value of labor and materials must be under $1,000.
The work cannot require a building permit.
Anything beyond these limits—such as structural repairs, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or projects requiring permits—must legally be done by a licensed contractor.
👉 Why it matters: If unlicensed work is done outside these limits, homeowners risk fines, failed inspections, and even denied insurance claims.
Quick Guidelines:
- ✅ Minor, non-structural repairs are typically allowed.
- ⚠️ Jobs over $1,000 usually require a licensed contractor.
- 🚫 Plumbing, electrical, or HVAC work often requires a state-licensed professional, regardless of job size.
When in doubt, it’s best to consult with your local building department or the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) to avoid fines or code violations.
Task Type | Allowed for Handyman? |
Drain unclogging, faucet filters | ✔ Yes (if <$2,500 total) |
Fixture installation (simple, “plug-in”) | ✔ Yes |
Appliance hookups (dishwasher, water heater) | ❌ No |
In-wall/pipe/hard-wired plumbing | ❌ No |
Any work requiring a permit or exceeding $2,500 | ❌ No |
Red Flags Your Contractor may not be licensed?
- No license number in advertisement or posting. Licensed contractors are required to list their license number in all advertisements. Rule of thumb: If they don’t have a license listed in their advertisement, which can be verified; move on to the next one.
- They list only their name and a cell phone number in their advertisement or posting. Do you really want to invite some stranger into your home that you contacted from an anonymous internet site or classified advertisement?
- They claim to be “licensed and insured” but can only produce an “occupational license,” or corporate filing. An “Occupational License” is not a license. It just means that the person has paid a tax receipt to the local municipality. Most local and county governments have stopped using this term as it is misleading and is often used to dupe unsuspecting homeowners. Also, just because a company is listed a corporation does not mean they have the professional license to do your job. Professionals properly licensed by the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation are proud to show you both their department issued license and proof of insurance. Be sure to note the license number and verify the license is current and issued to the company or person you want to hire.
- They want all or most of the money up front or will only accept cash. Run, don’t walk. Never pay cash for your home repairs or improvements.
- They want you to write the check to them individually or to “cash.” Be cautious of writing checks made payable to individuals, especially when dealing with a company.
- They show up in unmarked vehicles offering to do work, and often have out-of-state tags. Known as “trunk slammers” these are often the “hit and run” of the unlicensed contractors. Once they have your money, they slam the trunk shut and hit the road.
- They don’t want to put the work agreement in writing. Licensed contractors know its good business to put everything in writing, including a detailed description of the work to be completed, a completion date and the total cost.
- They try to convince you a permit is not necessary or that it’s cheaper if you obtain it yourself. Licensed contractors know that most improvements to the home require a permit and welcome the permit and inspection process to verify the work was done to code.
Contact your local building department if you are not sure the work you are having done requires permitting and inspections. This is for your own safety and may be required as part of future insurance claims.
Local Resources for Pensacola Residents
Plumbing often ties directly into local utilities and city services from setting up a new account, paying your bill, reporting an issue, or scheduling inspections. To save you time, here are some key resources for Pensacola homeowners and businesses:
Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA) – Handles water, sewer, sanitation, and recycling services for Pensacola and Escambia County. Contact ECUA for new service, billing, or to report water and sewer issues.
Pensacola Energy – The City of Pensacola’s natural gas provider. Visit for starting or stopping gas service, rebates, safety tips, or to report suspected gas leaks.
City of Pensacola Permitting & Inspections – Information on building permits, plumbing inspections, and city codes. Useful if you’re planning remodels, additions, or new construction.
Escambia County Utilities – Covers additional water and sewer services in parts of Escambia County outside the city limits.
Keeping these links handy makes it easier to stay on top of your plumbing-related utilities and ensures you know who to contact when issues arise.
