Individual liability insurance may or may not be a local county or city requirement, but I don't think he would need liability insurance as a Florida state requirement, since I don't think he needs a state license. My guess is that many handymen who work in The Villages do not have a business liability insurance policy. Also, since a Villages handyman needs to do work in 3 different counties and a few different cities, I can imagine that it would be difficult to comply with every local regulation.

Not working in my home without Insurance or contractor license don't believe in Welfare...
