Cycle

  • Florida sets the renewal period (annual, biennial, or longer) for plumbing credentials
  • Deadlines are usually tied to an individual expiration date, birth month, or a fixed calendar date
  • Confirm your exact date on the board portal or public roster

CE hours

  • Most renewals require board-approved continuing education or refresher training
  • Hour totals and topic mix (code, law, safety, business) are class-specific
  • Use only approved providers — unapproved hours often do not count

Late and lapse

  • Late fees escalate quickly; some boards force retest or reinstatement after a hard cutoff
  • Firm / contractor renewals may also need insurance or bond evidence
