Hey Bobbyr,
The link above is for the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
I am a contractor an hour east of you off I-4. As compared to some of the 'posters' here(no permitting, private or no AHJ, etc.)
we are very fortunate to live in a heavily regulated, completely online accessible area at the state and local levels.
http://www.hillsboroughcounty.org/pgm/deptfaqs3.pdf I especially like the triple fee penalty assessed by your county for work performed prior to the issuance of a permit.
