The contractor market in Florida
This is our covered-source snapshot for Florida, refreshed 2026-09-02. Counts describe records, not every contractor or unique company in the state. Census housing-unit authorizations shown here refer to 2025; they are not completed projects or all construction work.
Figures use separately generated snapshots: overall roster totals, trade counts and mapped-city counts can differ in scope and collection time and should not be added together or treated as a reconciled census. The displayed source refresh date does not date every aggregate. Population and households are sums of the covered ZIP estimates. The income indicator is a population-weighted average of ZIP-level household-income medians, not the state's household median. Census context can refer to a different period from the roster. Housing-unit authorizations refer to the displayed permit year; they are not completed projects. See the ACS estimate guidance and Building Permits Survey for the underlying statistical definitions.
This snapshot contains 51 records per 10,000 residents.
That is 11.1 snapshot records per 1,000 households.

Common questions about Florida contractors
What does the Florida roster cover?
110,411 records in our snapshot, refreshed 2026-09-02. Coverage follows the sources and trades listed here; it is not a census of every contractor or a count of unique companies. A company may hold multiple credentials.
How do I check a contractor in Florida before hiring?
Florida DBPR distinguishes certified construction contractors, whose credential is statewide, from registered contractors, whose authority depends on the local jurisdictions covered. Check the business, qualifier, license category and current status together. Compare the official record with the business on the contract, its current status and the proposed work. Check local permits, insurance and references separately.
Which trades are available in this roster?
electricians, plumbers, hvac contractors, general contractors, roofing contractors, solar contractors, pool contractors, excavating contractors. These are our covered categories, not a statement that each has a statewide license. Availability depends on territory and filters.
Does inclusion prove a contractor is active today?
No. The snapshot reflects source records at collection, not a live status check. Recheck the issuing authority before hiring. Missing records can reflect our coverage, source timing or search limits; they do not by themselves establish that a business is unlicensed.
How do I choose a list and delivery time?
Select a territory and review its available records and price before checkout. Contact fields vary by record. Larger website orders are typically delivered within one business day. Custom research scope and delivery timing are agreed before purchase.

Understanding Florida credentials
Florida DBPR distinguishes certified construction contractors, whose credential is statewide, from registered contractors, whose authority depends on the local jurisdictions covered. Check the business, qualifier, license category and current status together.
Under §489.1195, primary qualifiers supervise business operations and field work, subject to the financially responsible officer provisions. Secondary qualifiers have responsibility for specified permitted jobs and other work they accept. A qualifier's absence from a site does not by itself establish a violation.
Example: If a proposal names a company but the search finds only a person's credential, confirm that the person qualifies that company and that the category covers the project.
Trace the proposal from the company to its qualifier
- Start with the company that will sign the contract. Ask for its qualifying person and the construction license number, then check the relationship in DBPR records or with DBPR if the search leaves it unclear.
- Read whether the credential is certified or registered. For a registered contractor, confirm the locality covered rather than treating the registration as statewide authority.
- Match the category to the actual project. If responsibility is unclear, ask who supervises the business and who is responsible for the particular permitted work. A qualifier not being physically present during your visit is not, by itself, evidence of a violation.
Example: a proposal is from an LLC but the search returns a person with a similar name. Keep the identity question open until the company–qualifier relationship is confirmed; do not turn a personal license into a company approval.
