County and State Contractors:
Please note the Palm Beach County Construction Industry Licensing Board (PBCCILB) would like to remind you as County/State contractors that you are required to display your contractor’s license number in your vehicles, websites and business cards in compliance with County and/or State guidelines. Doing so would also help our County citizens to identify who is licensed and who is not.
For County Contractors:
Chapter 67-1876, Laws of Florida Special Act: Section 10-C, states in part:
It is unlawful for a contractor or a qualified business organization to fail to identify any of his or its vehicles used to transport materials and equipment to a job site. Identification shall be effectuated by placing upon said vehicles, in a permanent manner, the contractor's or business organization's identification, by name or symbol and certificate of competency number, in at least two locations in at least 2 inch letters.
For State Contractors performing working Palm Beach County:
Fla. Stat. § 489.119 (5) (c), states in part:
If a vehicle bears the name of a contractor or business organization, or any text or artwork which would lead a reasonable person to believe that the vehicle is used for contracting, the registration or certification number of the contractor must be conspicuously and legibly displayed with the name, text, or artwork.
Noncompliance:
Failure to comply with the aforementioned guidelines may subject you to the following penalties: County Contractors: County fines up to $500 per occurrence; State Contractors: PBCCILB referral notices to DBRP recommending DBPR impose up to $250 for first violation, and between $500 to $2,500 fine and/or probation for repeat violations.
