Florida subcontractor list and affidavit
Most Florida building departments will not issue or finalize a permit without a subcontractor list showing each trade's licensed contractor. Missing or unlicensed subs are one of the most common reasons a permit sits unissued at the counter.
What goes on the Florida version
- Electrical, plumbing, mechanical and roofing sub blocks with license numbers
- Additional trades listed free-form
- Job address, permit number and jurisdiction
- Qualifier signature and date block
Florida is one of our code-tuned states, so the packet builder also flags the state-specific attachments this scope triggers before you file.
Mistakes that get it kicked back
- Listing a sub whose license or workers' comp exemption has lapsed
- Filing the list after inspections start, which can stall the first inspection
- Naming a company DBA that does not match the state license record
