Lee County is no longer regulating local licenses. Applicants with a Contractor license will expire on June 30th, 2023. Applicants wanting to obtain a license must contact the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation at 850-487-1395. Pool enclosures, Electrical, Plumbing, Windows & Doors, Fences, Structural, etc., will require a state license.
Unfortunately, your license will expire after September; however, you will be able to go for the state equivalent of your trade. For example, suppose you had a roofing contractor's license for collier county. In that case, you will now need to have a roofing contractor license for the state of Florida or a residential contractor license hope this answered your question.
