What this record tells you

Kennon Industries, Inc. holds Florida licence CFC1433338, 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 2024, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 82% 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 2 years of continuous licensure.

Kennon Industries, Inc. is one of 5 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Southport, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Johnny R Benefield additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence 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.
