Florida licenses this trade at the STATE level (DBPR / CILB (CPC)). Hiring unlicensed for this work is illegal for the contractor — and risky for you: no permit rights, no insurance backing, no recourse.
Work like this often requires a county permit — a legitimate pro pulls it, not you.
Basis: FL Stat. 489 (DBPR state licensing).
