Dever Development Company

What this record tells you

Dever Development Company holds Florida licence RB0066811, a RB classification which authorises work as a certified/registered building or residential contractor. An "R" prefix means the licence is registered, which limits work to the local jurisdictions that accepted it rather than the whole state.

This licence was first issued in 1997, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 4% 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 29 years of continuous licensure.

Dever Development Company is one of 119 active home building & remodeling 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 08/31/2027. 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.
