About each permit

Contractor Listing (state-licensed contractors) and Registered Contractor Renewal

Volusia County Contractor Licensing (123 W. Indiana Ave., Room 203, DeLand; 386-736-5929) lists state-certified and state-registered contractors. The county's Contractor Licensing FAQ states that a contractor has a choice on the form whether to participate in the county licensing program; if the contractor declines, it must include proof of licensure and insurance with each permit application and has no access to the online portal, and if it participates there is an annual fee of $45 due on September 30 every year. The FAQ also states that a contractor registering through reciprocity pays a biennial fee of $150.00 due September 30 of odd-numbered years. Exhibit E of the county fee schedule revised October 1, 2026 lists the $45.00 listing fee, the $150.00 biennial and $25.00 inactive renewals for registered contractors, and a $150.00 per-year delinquent fee; the schedule states that licensing fees are not CPI-adjusted. County Code s. 22-86 bars issuing a listing card or building permit until a certificate of insurance naming Volusia County is on file. The September 2025 listing application states that Daytona Beach, Daytona Beach Shores, DeLand, Deltona, Edgewater, Holly Hill, Lake Helen, New Smyrna Beach, Oak Hill, Orange City, Ormond Beach, Ponce Inlet, Port Orange and South Daytona participate in the listing program by interlocal agreement.

Electrical Certificate of Competency (Master Electrician / Registered Electrical Contractor and Journeyman)

County Code s. 22-142 states: "All master electricians and journeymen must hold a valid certificate of competency in order to engage in electrical construction." Volusia County Contractor Licensing (386-736-5929, contractorlicensing@volusia.org) handles these certificates, and the county's Contractor Licensing FAQ says the county sponsors the Electrical Journeyman exam, with the original application submitted in person at 125 W. Indiana Ave., Room 203, DeLand. The fees are those in Exhibit E of the county fee schedule revised October 1, 2026, which states that licensing fees are not CPI-adjusted: for a registered electrical contractor, a $50.00 sponsor fee, $50.00 for the first certificate or reciprocity, and a $150.00 biennial renewal; for a journeyman, a $50.00 sponsor fee, $25.00 for the first certificate or reciprocity, and a $50.00 biennial renewal; an examination retest is $25.00. Under County Code s. 22-84, certificates of competency expire on September 30 of each odd-numbered year and may be renewed without penalty through December 31.
