Where in Tampa these licences are registered

Licences are spread across 52 ZIP codes, with the largest concentrations in 33619 (178), 33629 (176), 33618 (169), 33647 (169), 33614 (165), 33609 (159). 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 Tampa contractors have been licensed

1,511 of the 3,055 active licences registered in Tampa have been held for a decade or more, while 849 were first issued in the last three years. The median licence here dates from 2017. The longest-held active licence in the city belongs to Rem Air Conditioning of Tampa, Inc., licensed since 1975.

2,865 of Tampa's 3,055 active licences are certified — a "C" prefix, valid anywhere in Florida. 171 are mold licences (MRSR remediators and MRSA assessors), which the state issues under a separate board. 19 are registered — an "R" prefix, which limits the holder to the local jurisdictions that accepted the registration.

Hiring a contractor in Tampa — FAQ

How many licensed contractors are there in Tampa?

3,055 companies and licence holders have a current, active Florida state licence registered to an address in Tampa — 47% of every active licence in the Tampa area. That figure comes from the official DBPR public records refreshed on 11 Aug 2026, and counts licences, not employees.

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

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 Tampa area — and contractors based in neighbouring cities work in Tampa. 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. Tampa has 2,865 certified, 19 registered and 171 mold licences.

Is a longer-held licence better?

It is a signal, not a guarantee. 1,511 of Tampa's 3,055 active licences have been held for ten years or more, and 849 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.
