Warning signs

  • A contractor who cannot produce a license number at all, given Florida bars an unlicensed contractor from enforcing their own contract or filing a lien.[3]
  • A first payment above 10 percent with no permit filed within the following 30 days.[4]
  • A Registered (not Certified) contractor bidding work outside the jurisdiction they are registered in.[2]

Rules that protect you

  • Workers' compensation plus liability and property damage insurance required before a license is issued or renewed.[5]
  • General and building contractors: 300,000 dollars liability, 50,000 dollars property damage. Other categories: 100,000 dollars and 25,000 dollars.[5]
  • A first payment over 10 percent of the price triggers a 30-day deadline to apply for the permit and a 90-day deadline to start work.[4]
  • Construction Industries Recovery Fund pays only after a bond, insurance or other security is exhausted, capped at 100,000 dollars per Division I claim or 30,000 dollars per Division II claim for recent contracts.[6],[7]
