Gulf 2 Bay Development and Construction, LLC

What this record tells you

Gulf 2 Bay Development and Construction, LLC holds Florida licence RG291104190, 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 2024, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 85% of the 307 active general contracting licences based in the Panama City area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 2 years of continuous licensure.

Gulf 2 Bay Development and Construction, LLC is one of 120 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Panama City, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. William Gary Lister additionally holds 2 other active Florida licences in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

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.
