NOTICE: Painting Contractors
Effective immediately all painting, both residential and commercial, will require the business be qualified by either a painting, residential, building or general contractor licensed or registered through Hillsborough County. This includes persons performing strictly interior residential painting.
It is a violation of State Statute Chapter 489, and of Hillsborough County Construction Code Ordinance 05-12, to work in a regulated trade without being properly licensed and/or to advertise without including the qualifier’s license/certificate of competency number. This includes business cards, letterhead, vehicle signage, bid proposals and contracts. Violators are subject to prosecution and fines.
