What Repairs Require a Licensed Contractor?

flyerThe Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation  met with our property management council to go over what maintenance repairs require a state licensed contractor. Below are a few takeaways from the  meetings:

  • Owner builder permits say the owner has to live in the property for a year before they sell or rent the property. The above is the new law as it pertains to employees. This applies to large apartment or condo communities over 100 units and requires certifications.
  • Handyman exemption chapter 48: Any work of a casual nature under $1000 for general building or plumbing (not for electrical) is exempt.
  • Go to http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/ and go under the unlicensed activity section for a more in-depth list of what requires a permit. Section 015 talks about each different type of contractor.
  • Check the mobile app for DPBR to get instant information and the ability to report unlicensed activities.
  • Below are some stipulations for apartment community repairs:
