STATE EC/ER LicenseFlorida DBPR
Electrical contractors operating in Miami-Dade County must navigate a two-tier regulatory environment. First, you must hold a valid state-level certification from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). Second, you must register that license locally with the Miami-Dade County Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER) to legally pull permits and perform work.
Compliance involves maintaining active insurance, adhering to the Florida Building Code, and ensuring all projects are properly permitted and inspected. Failure to secure the necessary permits or operating with an expired registration can lead to significant fines, stop-work orders, and potential disciplinary action against your state license.
