LOCAL RESEARCH / Casselberry
Local context
Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation runs a public licence search covering the professions and businesses the department regulates. If a provider quotes a state licence number for security or electrical work, the number can be checked there — and it is fair to ask what the licence actually covers, since the search only reflects professions DBPR regulates. Local registration and insurance are separate questions worth asking about as well.
Source ↗Planning your work
A Florida law effective 1 July 2026 requires local governments to exempt work on single-family residential property valued at $7,500 or less from the building permit requirement, but the exemption excludes any electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical or gas work and does not apply in flood hazard areas. Much lock, door-hardware and entry-security work falls into one of those excluded categories, so the exemption is narrower than it first reads. Casselberry is in Seminole County; confirm with the county or city building department which office reviews the address and what it now asks for.
