Re: fraud

As a matter of public policy, contracts entered into on or after October 1, 1990, and performed in full or in part by any contractor who fails to obtain or maintain a license in accordance with this part shall be unenforceable in law or in equity. However, in the event the contractor obtains or reinstates his or her license, the provisions of this section shall no longer apply. �Pursuant to Florida State Statute above, any contracts entered into with unlicensed contractors are unenforceable.�Any monies paid to an unlicensed contractor may have to be refunded.
