Florida law requires contractors to be licensed. Hiring an unlicensed contractor is a violation of Florida Statute 455.228 and is subject to a fine of up to $5,000. Unlicensed contractors can often underbid licensed professionals because they typically are not bonded or insured and do not pay into the residential contractors' recovery fund or pay any unemployment compensation for their worker
