UNLICENSED ACTIVITY PROGRAM
Michael Green, Program Lead
Unlicensed Activity ProgramWhat is Unlicensed Activity?Unlicensed activity is when an individual or business performs or offers to perform a job or service that requires a state license. Unlicensed activity can occur in every profession and business that is licensed by the DBPR. Unlicensed activity threatens the financial and personal safety of consumers, as well as the livelihood of state-licensed professionals. Unlicensed individuals often underbid licensed professionals, but they do not carry workers’ compensation or liability insurance. Consumers can pay dearly with little recourse when working with unlicensed individuals. This page provides information about the dangers of hiring unlicensed individuals, how to report unlicensed activity, how to protect yourself, and the consequences of working without a license in the professions regulated by the Division of Regulation, Division of Real Estate and Division of Certified Public Accountants.
