Appearing Before the Board
The Board highly recommends that if you have any concerns about your application – such as a low
credit score, inability to supply references, lack of relevant work experience, etc. – you should request
to appear before the Board when submitting your application. This will help reduce delays and expedite
your application.
Affidavits
Please advise anyone preparing an affidavit that they may be contacted by Broward County to verify
information provided. Affidavits must be submitted to substantiate the aforementioned required
experience. Affidavits must be completed by your present or former licensed contractor employer.
Types of affidavits accepted:
• One notarized affidavit from a State of Florida or Broward County licensed contractor of equal or
higher category of license than the one for which you are applying for; or
• One notarized letter from a licensed architect or engineer verifying required experience for the
specific type of work performed; or
• Three notarized affidavits from out-of-state licensed contractors, with license numbers included,
verifying the required experience for the specific type of work performed.
References
Please provide at least three credit references as follows:
• A
t least one from a local financial institution stating your accounts are in good standing.
• Two letters from supply houses or other similar business entities you have done business
with.
All letters of reference should be notarized, include a contact number and, if applicable, a certificate of
competency number. Providing more than the minimum number of required letters of reference will only
enhance your application. The Board may or may not consider, at its discretion, letters of reference
from homeowners you have performed work for.
Personal Credit Report
The Board highly recommends that you pull your credit report just prior to submitting your application.
This will ensure the Board is presented with the most current information pertaining to your credit
history. However, reports dated within 12 months or less may be used. If your report is over 90 days
old, it must be accompanied by a notarized affidavit stating no material change has occurred since its
preparation and that is substantially represents your current financial condition. Your personal credit
report must include your credit score. If the credit score is less than 550, you will have to appear
before the Board to explain any area(s) of concern.

old, it needs to be accompanied by a notarized affidavit stating that no material change has occurred
since its preparation and that is substantially represents your current financial condition and the
business organization.
