The Department of Business and Professional Regulation licenses and regulates more than one million Florida businesses and professionals, from real estate agents, veterinarians, and accountants to contractors and cosmetologists. Our mission is to license efficiently and
regulate fairly.

The Department of Business and Professional Regulation is launching its DBPR Dashboard. The DBPR Dashboard provides a view of the Department's processing time, customer contact center call statistics, and licenses issued in the previous month. To view the DBPR Dashboard click here.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Division of Hotels and Restaurants will adopt provisions of the 2009 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Code. We are confident that the updates will lead to more efficient and smarter regulations which will improve the inspection process, ultimately allowing operators to better serve their customers.
