Miami-Dade County Contractor Licenses
Select a license to view its requirements, definition, exams, books, and classes. If your license is not listed as Miami-Dade County License, please select a Florida License. The Construction Trades Qualifying Board of Miami-Dade County states that all other categories (Except Journeyman and Maintenance) must take the two part exam (Technical and Business).
Miami Dade County office is still accepting applications with an expiration date of July 2023. The affected and remaining licenses can be viewed on the Miami-Dade Contractor License Category page. A contractor license is not needed if an applicant has a trade that does not need to pull permits. You will need to obtain a Building, Residential, or GC license to pull permits or remain a licensed contracting company.
