Notes

Florida does not require a statewide license specifically for painters. Painting is not a licensed specialty contractor category at the state level. However, painters doing work as part of a broader construction project may need to work under a licensed general or building contractor. Local jurisdictions such as Miami-Dade and Broward counties may have local licensing requirements.
