Hello, I’m a concrete contractor in Volusia County, being that this trade does not require a license anymore in July 2023, will I still be okay to pull permits for driveway and patio projects once the bill goes into effect? Thank you.

Hello Ben,
After your Concrete Contractor License expires on July 1st of this year, you will not be able to pull any permits. If you would like to work in multiple counties, we recommend obtaining the State General or Residential Contractor License. Below I have attached two links about each license.

I do window and door installations. Will my specialty contractor license still be valid for pulling permits in Volusia County?

Hello Shane,
After your Windows and Doors Contractor License expires on July 1, 2023, you will not be able to pull any permits for that county. We recommend obtaining a Florida Glass and Glazing Contractor License if you are looking to work in different counties. Down below I will provide you with a link to more information on the license.
