Plumbing Licensing in Ormond-by-the-Sea CDP, Florida

Who Needs a License

Any person performing plumbing work in Ormond-by-the-Sea must hold a valid Florida plumbing license. Under Fla.

How to Get Licensed

2. Exam: Pass the CILB-administered plumbing contractor or plumber exam, which tests knowledge of Florida Building Code and plumbing standards.

3. Application: Submit your application directly to the CILB (a state-level board, not a local office). Include proof of experience, exam passage, and required fees.

4. License Types: Florida offers both plumbing contractor and plumber classifications under Fla. Stat. § 489.113.
