Smith Plumbing of Bay County Inc.

What this record tells you

Smith Plumbing of Bay County Inc. holds Florida licence CFC1429342, 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 2015, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 39% of the 109 active plumbing licences based in the Panama City area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 11 years of continuous licensure.

Smith Plumbing of Bay County Inc. is one of 36 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Panama City, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
