Jorge A Rabanal Smith

What this record tells you

Jorge A Rabanal Smith holds Florida licence CGC1540137, 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 2026, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 95% of the 1,770 active general contracting licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 0 years of continuous licensure.

Jorge A Rabanal Smith is one of 52 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Wesley Chapel, 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.
