Florida Contractor License Verification
State Contractor Registration

​​​​​​Florida State Statute 489.113(c)

The local government may also deny issuance of, or may suspend, any outstanding building permit where a contractor fails or refuses to provide proof of public liability and property damage insurance coverage as required by s.489.115(5) and workers' compensation insurance coverage as required by s.489.114.
