Artisan Structures LLC

What this record tells you

Artisan Structures LLC holds Florida licence CGC1537142, a CGC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered general 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 85% of the 307 active general contracting licences based in the Panama City area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 2 years of continuous licensure.

Artisan Structures LLC is one of 74 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Panama City Beach, 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.
