Plumbing Licensing in Redington Shores, Florida

Who Needs a License

Any person who installs, constructs, alters, or repairs plumbing systems in Redington Shores must hold a valid Florida plumbing license. Under Fla. Stat. § 489.105, plumbing work includes the installation and maintenance of pipes, fixtures, and systems that convey water, gas, or waste.[^1] This applies to residential, commercial, and industrial projects within town limits.

How to Get Licensed

Florida plumbing licenses are issued by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB), not by the town of Redington Shores.

Steps to obtain licensure:

  1. Meet qualifications under Fla. Stat. § 489.113, which requires four years of documented plumbing experience (or equivalent apprenticeship) under a licensed plumber.[^2]

  2. Pass the state exam administered by the CILB. The exam tests knowledge of Florida building codes, plumbing standards, and safety regulations.

  3. Apply to the CILB through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). Submit proof of experience, exam scores, and required fees.

  4. Obtain your license once the CILB approves your application. License renewal occurs every two years.

For current exam dates, application procedures, and fees, contact the CILB through the DBPR website or call the state licensing hotline.

Local Requirements

Redington Shores requires all plumbing work to comply with the Redington Shores Municipal Code.[^3] Before beginning any plumbing project, you must:

  1. Pull a permit from the Redington Shores Building Department. Contact the town directly for permit application procedures, required documents, and fees.

  2. Schedule inspections at rough-in and final stages. The town inspector will verify compliance with the municipal code and Florida plumbing standards.

  3. Check municipal code amendments at the Redington Shores Municipal Code website for any local amendments or additional requirements beyond state law.
