Plumbing Licensing in Malone town, Florida

Who Needs a License

Any person who engages in plumbing work in Malone town must hold a valid Florida plumbing license. Under Fla. Stat. § 489.105, plumbing is defined as the installation, construction, alteration, servicing, and repair of all types of piping, fixtures, equipment, and appurtenances in connection with sanitary or storm sewerage, water supply, gas piping, medical gas piping, or vent systems. If your work falls within this definition, you need a license before performing it in Malone town.

How to Get Licensed

Florida plumbing licenses are issued by the Construction Industry Licensing Board under authority of Fla. Stat. § 489.107. To obtain a license:

1. Meet qualifications under Fla. Stat. § 489.113, which requires documented experience in plumbing work. The statute specifies the years of practical experience required depending on your license category (journeyman, contractor, etc.).

2. Pass the Florida state exam administered by the Construction Industry Licensing Board. The exam tests knowledge of plumbing code and practices.

3. Apply through the state board, not through Malone town. Applications are submitted to the Construction Industry Licensing Board in Tallahassee.

4. Obtain your license before beginning any plumbing work in Malone town.

Local Requirements

Malone town operates under the Malone Municipal Code (link to code). Before performing plumbing work, you must:

• Pull a local permit through the Town of Malone Building Department. Contact the Malone town Building Department for permit requirements, fees, and procedures specific to Malone.

• Check the Malone Municipal Code for any local amendments or additional requirements beyond state licensing standards.

Your state Florida plumbing license satisfies state requirements, but Malone town may have local permitting or inspection requirements on top of state licensure.

Exemptions

Fla. Stat. § 489.103 provides exemptions from state licensing for certain plumbing work, including:

• Repairs by property owners on their own residential property (with specific limitations)
• Installation or repair of plumbing for single-family residential construction under certain conditions
• Other limited exemptions detailed in the statute

Review § 489.103 in full to determine if your work qualifies for an exemption. If exempted from state licensing, you may still need a local permit from Malone town.
