Commission adopts ordinance aligning contractor licensing with state rules
Summary
On second reading the board approved an ordinance to align Flagler County contractor licensing with state statute, preempt local testing, and tighten reciprocity standards for licenses. The vote was unanimous.
Flagler County commissioners on second reading approved an ordinance to bring the county’s contractor-licensing code into alignment with state law, removing local license testing and clarifying reciprocity requirements.
Assistant County Attorney Sarah Spector told the board the amendment preempts local contractor licensing by deferring to the state’s licensing framework. She said the ordinance closes the option for local testing (the local test window expired March 31) and requires applicants to hold or renew state licenses or meet the county’s reciprocity standards.
The board opened and closed public comment with no speakers and then voted to approve the ordinance on second reading by roll call. Commissioners praised staff for preparing the update to reflect state law.
What’s next: staff will implement the ordinance changes and enforce updated reciprocity guidelines for contractor licensing in Flagler County.
