Plumbing Licensing in Campbellton town, Florida

Who Needs a License

Any person who installs, constructs, alters, services, or repairs plumbing systems in Campbellton must hold a valid Florida plumbing license. Under Fla. Stat. § 489.105, plumbing is defined as work involving the installation, maintenance, and repair of water supply and distribution pipes, drainage systems, fixtures, and appurtenances. This includes water heaters, backflow preventers, and related equipment within buildings and on properties.

How to Get Licensed

Florida issues plumbing licenses through the Construction Industry Licensing Board established under Fla. Stat. § 489.107. To become licensed:

1. Meet qualifications under Fla. Stat. § 489.113, which requires:
2. Four years of documented practical experience in plumbing work under a licensed plumber, OR
3. Equivalent combination of education and experience as defined by the Board

4. High school diploma or equivalent

5. Apply with the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board (the state-level issuing authority, not a local entity)

6. Pass the state examination covering plumbing codes, practices, and safety

7. Pay applicable state fees

Applicants should contact the Construction Industry Licensing Board directly for current exam schedules, application forms, and fee amounts. The Board administers all plumbing licenses statewide.

If your work involves medical gas piping systems, Fla. Stat. § 489.1136 requires separate medical gas certification in addition to your plumbing license.
