As of now, Palm Beach County will operate as usual until July 2023. Now once the law takes full effect, you may be required to have a State License to do some trades. With that being said, we recommend you obtain a State License. If you do primarily Residential work, we recommend the Residential Contractor license for the State of Florida. As for Martin County and the City of Port St Lucie, you will need to directly contact the county to get information for any changes to the law.

Thanks
Yes, before July 2023, Palm Beach County will decide what trades will need a state license. The painting, tile, tennis court, and wood flooring are one of the few confirmed licenses that will no longer be required.
How is going to affect us?
Thank you.
For paving, you will not be required to have a license, but to do the work some businesses may require you to have a license, which in that case you will need a State license like the Florida Residential License.

Pinellas County has yet to decide when or how it will respond to the HB 735 that goes into effect in July of this year. We recommend that you contact Pinellas County Licensing Department directly. If you need a State License: General, Building, or Residential will allow you to do the scope of work of a Painter. To obtain any of the state licenses I have listed, you need to pass a state Trade and Business exams. In addition, you will need to satisfy the Experience and Education requirements set forth by the CILB (Construction Industry Licensing Board). Below I have attached links with additional information on each state license that will allow you to still work as a Painter. Please contact us at 866-986-7978 if you have any questions regarding the study materials for each license.
Once HB 735 goes into effect in July of this year, depending on the scope of work, you can obtain many contractor licenses. By becoming a State Contractor License, you will be able to grow and show your customers the credibility to increase your business. Another option is to have a qualifying agent qualify your company until you obtain your contractor license. Below, I have added a link to our website for more information.
