Pinch A Penny #194

What this record tells you

Pinch A Penny #194 holds Florida licence CPC1460162, a CPC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered pool/spa contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2023, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 62% of the 279 active pool & spa licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 3 years of continuous licensure.

This is the only active pool & spa licence registered to an address in Sun City Center in the current DBPR extract — worth widening your search to the surrounding Tampa 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.
