Engineering Licensing in East Bronson CDP, Florida

Who Needs a License

In Florida, engineering work is regulated under the Construction Industry Licensing Board framework. However, the specific licensing requirements depend on the scope and nature of the engineering services being performed. Under Fla. Stat. § 489.105, "engineering" services fall within the construction trades subject to state regulation when they involve design, planning, or technical oversight of construction projects. The type of engineering work you perform determines whether state licensure is required by the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board.
