Are You Sure You’re in Compliance? Stricter Licensing Rules for Florida Contractors
Florida’s contractor licensing requirements impose hidden trap doors that can complicate compliance for even the most observant and dutiful builders. In the past year, Florida courts have begun to enforce a strict interpretation of contractor licensing rules. What may have been enough to achieve compliance in the past may not be adequate in today’s dynamic regulatory environment. In this webinar, Smith Currie Oles attorneys Christopher Horton and Vincent Halloran will discuss recent Florida court decisions interpreting contractor licensing rules, the ins and outs of contractor licensing regulations under Chapter 489, Florida Statutes, and how to avoid the dangers of civil and criminal penalties for unlicensed contracting.
