<p class="MsoNormal">A local license is called a “registered” license, and the name, etc. is required to be sent by the local authority to DBPR, who then posts it on the agency’s Public webpage (which is the source local building departments look to in order
to determine if a permit applicant is properly licensed for that jurisdiction).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are almost NO restrictions on how a local authority licenses/regulates/restricts “registered” contractors, unlike their very limited authority over state-licensed (“certified” contractors. In order to issue a “registered” contractor’s
license, state law does not require any exam; however, the local government is required to have a local licensing board (but some smaller jurisdictions do not, which might raise an interesting legal issue of whether that local contractor is properly licensed
for purposes of section 489.128, EXCEPT THAT “LOCAL” LLCENSING WAS REMOVED FROM THAT SECTION YEARS AGO).</p>
