Ben Wortman Construction LLC

What this record tells you

Ben Wortman Construction LLC holds Florida licence CBC1252363, a CBC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered building or residential contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2004, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 14% of the 482 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Panama City area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 22 years of continuous licensure.

Ben Wortman Construction LLC is one of 177 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Panama City, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Benjamin Rand Wortman additionally holds 2 other active Florida licences in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
