Florida Handyman Laws and Licensing Requirements
Wednesday, Sep. 22nd 2010 6:46 AM
The state of Florida does not license or regulate those calling themselves a handyman. Therefore a handyman is only permitted to perform minor repairs and cannot legally perform any of the work previously mentioned that requires a license.
When a handyman expands their efforts from minor repairs to structural repairs or other work they are not authorized to do, they are entering the area of unlicensed activity and are subject to prosecution. Unlicensed activity is a misdemeanor for the first offense and becomes a felony upon the second offense.
