Residential Contractor means a contractor whose services are limited to construction, remodeling, repair, or improvement of one-family, two-family, or three-family residences not exceeding two habitable stories above no more than one uninhabitable story and accessory use structures in connection therewith.


Applications for the Florida Residential Contractor License must be submitted to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. For application instructions and assistance, call 850-487-1395. The application process includes proof of financial stability, insurance coverage details, and electronic fingerprinting among other requirements.


Florida has a limited form of reciprocity with other states. If you have passed the NASCLA Accredited Examination for Commercial General Building Contractors, you may be exempt from the Florida Trade Knowledge exam. You are still required to pass the Florida Business and Finance exam and fulfill other specific state requirements.


Florida requires all licensed contractors to complete 14 hours of continuing education during each biennial renewal period. This education must include 1 hour on workplace safety, 1 hour on workers' compensation, 1 hour on business practices, 1 hour on laws and rules, 1 hour on wind mitigation, and the remaining hours on general subjects.


To obtain a Florida Residential Contractor license, you must pass two exams: the Florida Business and Finance exam and the Trade Knowledge exam. These exams cover topics such as financial management, contract administration, project management, safety, building codes, and specialty contracting practices. The exams are administered by Professional Testing, Inc. (PTI).


Training for the Florida Residential Contractor exam is available through various providers, offering courses that include both Business and Finance and Trade Knowledge preparation. These courses are designed to help applicants pass their exams on the first attempt by providing them with the necessary knowledge and test-taking strategies.
