D. R. Horton, Inc.

What this record tells you

D. R. Horton, Inc. holds Florida licence CBC1262419, 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 2018, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 60% of the 574 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Melbourne & Space Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 8 years of continuous licensure.

D. R. Horton, Inc. is one of 132 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Melbourne, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
