The information is still up to date. The Fencing Contractor License will not be required for Charlotte County. However, suppose you still need a license to show your customer, insurance companies, and larger contractor that you are a legitimate contractor yourself. In that case, you can get the Residental, Building, or General license with the State.
Down below, I will provide you with the links to each of the licenses listed above, as well as a link to Charlotte County's response to the House Bill.
