Securing your certified roofing license in Florida involves not only mastering your craft but also navigating a comprehensive application process. Understanding the required fees and essential documents is paramount to a successful application. The following list represents the DBPR’s mandatory requirements that you must submit with your application to the CILB:
1. Application Fees: The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation has outlined specific fees based on the time of application. Applying between May 1st of an EVEN year through August 31st of an ODD year incurs a fee of $245. On the other hand, applying between September 1st of an ODD year through April 30th of an EVEN year carries a reduced fee of $145. Ensure your check is payable to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
2. Credit Report Requirements: To provide a comprehensive view of your financial responsibility, a credit report is a mandatory component of your application. Obtain a credit report containing your FICO-derived credit score from a nationally recognized credit reporting agency. The report should include a public records statement indicating that your records have been checked at local, state, and federal levels.
- If your credit score falls below 660 (FICO derived), you must also submit proof of completion of a 14-hour financial responsibility course approved by the Board. A list of approved courses can be found on the official website.
- Additionally, a credit report on the business you represent is required. This report should also come from a nationally recognized credit reporting agency and include a public records statement indicating checks at local, state, and federal levels.
3. Electronic Fingerprints: As part of the application process, electronic fingerprints are mandatory. This step contributes to ensuring a secure and accurate evaluation of your application. Electronic Fingerprinting is located at various convenient sites throughout the state.
4. Supporting Legal Documentation: Prepare any supporting legal documentation deemed necessary for your application. Be thorough in gathering and presenting these documents to avoid delays in the processing of your application.
5. Proof of Satisfaction of Liens, Judgments, and Discharge of Bankruptcy: If applicable, include documentation proving the satisfaction of liens, judgments, and discharge of bankruptcy. This step reinforces your financial responsibility and compliance with legal obligations.
Navigating the complexities of the Florida certified roofing license application requires attention to detail and adherence to specific guidelines.
