Verifying a Florida Pool & Spa Contractor license — FAQ
- How do I verify a Florida Pool & Spa Contractor's license?
- Enter the contractor's license number into the tool above. A Certified Pool & Spa Contractor license begins with CPC. SubShield checks the number against Florida DBPR license data and returns the status, expiration date, Certified vs. Registered tier, the license holder, and whether the license is suspended, on probation, inactive, or expired. It is free and needs no account.
- What does a CPC license cover in Florida?
- A CPC license is a Certified Pool & Spa Contractor license. It covers swimming pool and spa construction, servicing, and repair. Certified licenses are valid statewide; a county-Registered version of the same trade is valid only in the local jurisdiction that issued it, so confirm the tier matches where the work is happening.
- Is a Florida Pool & Spa Contractor license valid statewide?
- A Certified (CPC) Pool & Spa Contractor license is valid anywhere in Florida. A Registered Pool & Spa Contractor is licensed only in the specific county or municipality where they registered their local competency, so a Registered license that looks valid may still not cover your project's jurisdiction.
- What status should a Pool & Spa Contractor's license show before they start work?
- Look for an active, current status with a future expiration date. Statuses such as Inactive, Delinquent, Null and Void, Suspended, or Expired mean the contractor is not presently authorized to perform licensed pool & spa contractor work — don't let them on site until DBPR shows the license current.
