What must a contractor do if they change their business address?

When a contractor changes their business address, it is essential for them to notify the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) and update their license information. This is important for several reasons. First, maintaining updated contact information with regulatory bodies ensures compliance with state laws and helps avoid potential penalties for operating with outdated licensing information.

Additionally, updating the address with the DBPR allows for seamless communication between the agency and the contractor, as well as ensuring that any important notices, renewal reminders, or correspondence regarding licensing reach the contractor without delay. It also helps clients and other stakeholders to verify the business's legitimacy and obtain accurate information.

By neglecting to inform the DBPR of the address change, a contractor risks being in violation of licensing requirements, which can lead to legal issues, administrative penalties, or complications in future license renewals.
