If you’re hiring a contractor, it’s important to check to make sure they have a contractor’s license. First of all, it reduces the chances that you will get scammed by a con artist posing as a contractor. Secondly, it gives you recourse in the even that the contractor doesn’t fulfill his part of the contract. Importantly, it also helps ensure the person can do a safe job.
According to both the State Statue and the Collier County Ordinance anyone who engages in any construction contracting business must have a county contractor license and certificate of competency or be a state-certified contractor.
So, if you’re about to pay someone to remodel your home, build an addition or install a pool, check their license! You can check the status of a contractor’s license or submit a complaint on the Collier County Licensing Portal.
Now, if you’re just hiring a handyman, keep in mind, they aren’t licensed contractors. Still, they are required to have an occupational license issued by the Collier County Business Tax Office.
