Registered Contractor vs. Certified Contractors in Florida

The state of Florida regulates the business of contracting within this state. A Florida contractor licensee submitting an application may be required to achieve “certified” or “registered” status. The distinction between “certified” or “registered” status depends upon the circumstances in which the licensee applicant intends to perform contractor work.

DBPR is serious about prosecuting unlicensed contractor activity. A person suspected of engaging in unlicensed contracting may be compelled to appear before the Board. A person engaging in unlicensed contracting may be subject to a civil penalty, civil sanction, or suffer arrest and conviction for unlicensed contracting. API is experience with any issues that may arise here.
