​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.

Broward County Building Code Division ​has permitting jurisdiction for properties in Unincorporated Broward County. A verified contractor license is only valid in Unincorporated Broward County or in areas where the Go SOLAR Online Permitting System is used to pull a permit.
