Panama Joe, LLC

What this record tells you

Panama Joe, LLC holds Florida licence CRC1327440, a CRC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered building or residential contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2004, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 14% of the 482 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Panama City area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 22 years of continuous licensure.

Panama Joe, LLC is one of 20 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Port St Joe, 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.
