§ 22-112. Certification by state.

(a)

As of October 1, 1981, the county no longer issued certificates of competency for construction contractors, plumbing contractors or mechanical contractors licensed under F.S. ch. 489; therefore all such contractors wishing to engage in the business of contracting must be certified by the state, pursuant to F.S. ch. 489, or its successor.

(b)

Roofing and swimming pool contractors who had been issued a county occupational license for the fiscal year 1979-1980 and who were registered by the state pursuant to F.S. ch. 489 were allowed to continue to pursue their trade for so long as they maintained their state registration. Any loss of the state registration requires such contractor to become state certified.

(c)

Aluminum Specialty Structure Contractors shall be state certified pursuant to F.S. ch. 489, and rule 61G4-15.015, Florida Administrative Code, excepting that those contractors, who, had a 1988-89 county occupational license for this trade and were registered with the state at that time, may continue to engage in the trade without becoming state certified. Any loss of the state registration requires such contractor to become state certified.
