Prior to receiving a license in Hillsborough County, you must take the Experior Assessments examination. If you have received a license from another county without taking an examination, you will be required to take the examination before receiving a license in Hillsborough County. Hillsborough County will honor examinations taken in other jurisdictions. In such cases, a Reciprocity Form will have to be completed and additional requirements will have to be met.

If you are working under a General, Building or Residential contractor on a single family or duplex residential structure, and the work being performed could have been performed by the General, Building or Residential contractor, you are not required to be certified as a contractor. However, you may be required to obtain a local occupational license if you live or have an office in Hillsborough County.
