Where in Palmetto these licences are registered

Licences are spread across 2 ZIP codes, with the largest concentrations in 34221 (236), 34220 (4). This is the address on the licence record — an office or, often, a home — and not a service-area map. A certified contractor can legally work anywhere in Florida.

How long Palmetto contractors have been licensed

121 of the 240 active licences registered in Palmetto have been held for a decade or more, while 65 were first issued in the last three years. The median licence here dates from 2016. The longest-held active licence in the city belongs to Fernald Const Company Inc, licensed since 1975.

227 of Palmetto's 240 active licences are certified — a "C" prefix, valid anywhere in Florida. 12 are mold licences (MRSR remediators and MRSA assessors), which the state issues under a separate board. 1 are registered — an "R" prefix, which limits the holder to the local jurisdictions that accepted the registration.

Hiring a contractor in Palmetto — FAQ

How many licensed contractors are there in Palmetto?

240 companies and licence holders have a current, active Florida state licence registered to an address in Palmetto — 5% of every active licence in the Sarasota & Bradenton area. That figure comes from the official DBPR public records refreshed on 11 Aug 2026, and counts licences, not employees.

Does a Palmetto address mean the contractor only works in Palmetto?

No. DBPR records the address the licence holder registered, which is often an office or a home, not a service area. A certified ("C" prefix) licence is valid anywhere in Florida, so many contractors listed here work across the whole Sarasota & Bradenton area — and contractors based in neighbouring cities work in Palmetto. Ask about travel and call-out charges.

What is the difference between the licence types I see on this page?

A "C" prefix means certified: the licence is issued by the state and valid anywhere in Florida. An "R" prefix means registered, which limits the holder to the local jurisdictions that accepted the registration. Mold licences (MRSR for remediators, MRSA for assessors) are issued separately again. Palmetto has 227 certified, 1 registered and 12 mold licences.

Is a longer-held licence better?

It is a signal, not a guarantee. 121 of Palmetto's 240 active licences have been held for ten years or more, and 65 were first issued within the last three. A long licence shows the holder has kept up renewals and stayed in business; it says nothing about the quality of any particular job. Always collect written quotes and proof of insurance.
