Contractor Permit Defined

What is a Contractor Permit?
A contractor permit is a legal document issued by a government agency to a contractor that allows them to perform essential functions with legal approval. This type of permit is often issued to denote the legal approval for actions such as drilling, digging, and more. A contractor permit is also necessary for a business to operate within the city limits of the geographical area in which their job is. By obtaining a contractor permit, individuals can be sure they are within their legal rights to perform the work they promised to their client.

Do I need a building permit for installing a fence in my backyard?
I recently purchased a new home and I'm planning to install a fence in my backyard for privacy and security reasons. However, I am unsure if I need to obtain a building permit for this project. I've heard conflicting information from friends and neighbors, and I want to ensure that I am in compliance with all local regulations and codes before proceeding with the installation.
Jorge G.
That depends on your municipality. However, most—if not all—require a permit to ensure compliance with local code requirements for a fence. I recommend contacting your county or city building department to confirm the specific requirements before starting your project.

Can a contractor legally work without a permit?
I recently hired a contractor to remodel my kitchen, and during the process, I discovered that they did not obtain the necessary permit for the project. I am concerned about the legal implications of this and whether the contractor can continue to work without a permit, as it has caused delays and potential safety issues. I would like to know if a contractor is legally allowed to work without a permit, and if not, what actions can I take to ensure compliance and address the situation appropriately.
Diane D.
Depends on what the contractor is doing, and if he is truly a contractor or a handyman. In Florida, Handymen typically work on small jobs, like minor repairs and improvements to a residence or commercial building. In Florida, you don't need any authorization or documentation to provide unregulated handyman services, but you will need a contractor's license for regulated services like plumbing, construction, and electrical work. Contractors obtain building permits for their work and to make sure they comply with zoning and building codes. If remodeling your kitchen calls for plumbing or could be considered major construction work, then you need permits and a true contractor. If he is a real contractor, and he is doing this work, the city can assess fines on you and stop the work until the permits are obtained.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
