AN IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR RESIDENTS IMPACTED BY RECENT HURRICANESPROTECT YOURSELF. If your home or business has incurred damage due to the storm, DON'T HIRE AN UNLICENSED CONTRACTOR. Before hiring any contractor, ask for their name, license number and proof of general liability and workers' comp insurance. Verify state certified contractors online at www.myfloridalicense.com. A list of PCCLB-licensed, qualified and insured contractors can be found online using our Contractor Search feature.
OUT OF STATE CONTRACTORSThe state of Florida has reciprocity with a very limited number of out-of-state jurisdictions. Contractors who are NOT licensed in the state of Florida CANNOT WORK in Pinellas County. In a state of emergency, verify the license status of state-certified contractors online at www.myfloridalicense.com. The PCCLB may grant temporary licenses to specialty contractors from other jurisdictions in Florida based on damage assessments. Fines for unlicensed contracting start at $500.
STATE CERTIFIED CONTRACTORSState certified contractors DO NOT have to register or renew their registrations with PCCLB to work in Pinellas County. You will have to provide proof of state license and valid insurance to every building department in the County in order to obtain permits. More information.
