Gator Plumbing Inc

What this record tells you

Gator Plumbing Inc holds Florida licence CFC057255, a CFC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered plumbing contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1999, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 9% of the 479 active plumbing licences based in the Sarasota & Bradenton area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 27 years of continuous licensure.

Gator Plumbing Inc is one of 21 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Nokomis, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. William W Smock 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.
