License Reciprocity Agreements for State Contractors

Contractor License Reciprocity agreements allow contractors licensed in certain states to obtain a license in another state without having to take the state trade exam.

In 2020, Florida established new rules making it easier for out-of-state contractors who have been licensed in other states for at least 10 years, to obtain their Florida contractor’s license without having to take the exam.
