A background check is required in Florida per the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) to get a Florida contractor's license. Although, the regulations don't explicitly list the types of offenses that would disqualify a contractor from the licensure. Each application is determined on a case-by-case basis.
For any additional questions pertaining to qualification of Florida contractors, the DBPR website has a forum where questions can be posed and answers can be searched here: DBPR Support Center
