Hello Mikaela, Brevard County has yet to respond to House Bill 735; licenses are still being regulated. Therefore, we recommend contacting Brevard County directly for a more direct answer. However, we do recommend obtaining the State reciprocal for Fencing. The State licenses that fall under that scope of work would be the General, Building, or Residential Contractor License. Below, I will provide the links to each license for more information on the books & classes to prepare you for the Trade and Business exams.
