Construction Licensing Board

The Pinellas County Construction Licensing Board (PCCLB) regulates certain construction and home improvement contractors practicing in Pinellas County, including all local municipalities. In addition, the PCCLB provides countywide certification and registration of contractors and countywide certification of journeyman.

 

The PCCLB is managed by the Construction Licensing Department, an operating department of the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners (BCC). The department is responsible for day-to-day administration, records maintenance, and contractor license investigations in Pinellas County. The department supports the PCCLB, a dependent agency to the BCC. The department continues to be funded through licensing fees, fines, and citations and is not dependent on property taxes.
