They are certainly independent sub contractors but Florida law makes

Maybe for FL taxes and insurance purposes, but certainly FL would
have no sway over what the Feds require to make a person an employee and
thus responsible for FICA and Fed w/holding.
No, but they can (and apparently do) require you to adhere to a set of
rules before issuing a building permit which include assuming liability
for subcontractors...
Good point. I got focussed on the Fed part and forgot that the real
requirements were for the permit and the governmental unit can pretty
much require what they want to for the permit.
