Rhino Plumbing

What this record tells you

Rhino Plumbing holds Florida licence CFC1427876, 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 2008, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 28% 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 18 years of continuous licensure.

This is the only active plumbing licence registered to an address in Longboat Key in the current DBPR extract — worth widening your search to the surrounding Sarasota & Bradenton area when collecting comparison quotes.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2028. 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.
