Florida electrical contractors need general liability insurance for the EC (Electrical Contractor) license — minimum $300,000 per occurrence, with DBPR named as certificate holder. Workers' compensation is required for all electrical contractors with one or more employees. The 2026 NCCI advisory rate for electricians (class code 5190) is $2.969 per $100 of payroll — significantly lower than roofing or carpentry due to lower injury frequency.
General Liability: minimum $300K per occurrence, DBPR as certificate holder, recommended $1M/$2M for commercial work. Workers' Compensation: required for 1+ employees, class code 5190 at $2.969/$100 payroll. Commercial Auto: required for vehicles used for business. Same-day certificates of insurance available for active policyholders.

Florida law requires WC for construction contractors with 1+ employees. As a sole proprietor with no employees, you are not required to carry WC for yourself, but you may file an exemption certificate. GCs may require you to carry WC or file an exemption to avoid having your payroll included in their audit.
