Council Contracting, Inc.

What this record tells you

Council Contracting, Inc. holds Florida licence RG0014679, a RG classification which authorises work as a certified/registered general 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 2021, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 75% of the 330 active general contracting licences based in the Tallahassee area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2010. That is 5 years of continuous licensure.

Council Contracting, Inc. is one of 19 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Crawfordville, 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.
