Construction Industry Licensing Board

The Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) was established under Section 3-2-42 of the Charlotte County Code of Laws and Ordinances to oversee contractor licensing and standards within the construction industry. The nine-member board is appointed by the Board of County Commissioners and includes licensed contractors, a state-registered architect or engineer, and three members of the general public. Members must reside in or maintain a principal place of business in Charlotte County, and contractor members must hold a current certificate of competency.

The CILB advises the Charlotte County Community Development Department and serves as the Board of Examiners for construction contractor licensing. It has authority over contractor licensing matters under county code and state law, including reviewing qualifications, conducting hearings, and addressing violations by licensed or unlicensed contractors. The Board may impose disciplinary actions such as fines, restitution, and related costs to ensure compliance and protect the public.

Meeting Information

The Charlotte County Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) meets the first Thursday of every other month at 4 p.m. in Room 119, 18500 Murdock Circle, County Administration Center, Port Charlotte. The meetings are recorded and broadcast on CC-TV at a later date. The meetings are quasi-judicial, subject to the Florida Sunshine Law. Members of the board must not discuss with each other any matter which comes before them or visit any site relevant to a matter before them with another member of the board, unless such discussion or site visit occurs at a hearing advertised and open to the public.
