Florida Plumbing Contractor Insurance Requirements<\/h2>\n

Active Florida construction licensees must maintain required insurance. For construction categories other than general and building contractors, Florida DBPR states that the minimum is generally $100,000 in liability insurance<\/strong> and $25,000 in property damage insurance<\/strong>, unless a different amount is established by board rule.<\/p>\n

Florida construction employers with one or more employees<\/strong>, including non-exempt business owners, generally must carry workers\u2019 compensation insurance. Eligible owners may qualify for an exemption.<\/p>\n

Contracts, general contractors, property managers, municipalities, and commercial clients may require substantially higher limits, additional insured status, waivers of subrogation, primary and noncontributory wording, commercial auto liability, umbrella coverage, or specific certificate wording.<\/p>\n
