The assembly shall be installed by a licensed contractor certified in the State of Florida to install and test backflow assemblies."
I think repairs have to be done by a licensed contractor as well.

Yes repairs and installation is to be performed by licensed plumbing contractor.
Secondly “ How often is backflow testing required in Florida?
The state requires that homeowners have their backflow preventers tested every two years by a certified backflow tester, and that water utilities submit annual reports on the compliance status of their customers.”
I haven’t noticed this on the annual utilities water report.
