§ 6-72. Actions against state certified contractors.

If, after public hearing, the board of building examiners finds a state certified contractor to be guilty of fraud or a willful building code violation within Lake County or if the board has proof that such contractor had been found guilty in another county or municipality within the past twelve (12) months of fraud or a willful building code violation and finds that such fraud or violation would have been fraud or violation if committed in Lake County, the board may deny, suspend, or revoke the authority of such state certified contractor to obtain a building permit or limit such authority to obtaining a permit(s) with specific condition. Notification of and information concerning such disciplinary action shall be submitted to DBPR within fifteen (15) days after the board decides to deny the permit. Any such notification to DBPR may also include recommended penalties. The board of building examiners may also deny issuance of, or suspend, any outstanding building permit when a state certified contractor fails or refuses to provide proof of public liability and property damage insurance coverage as required by F.S. § 489.115(5), and workers' compensation insurance coverage as required by F.S. § 489.114.
