Southern Pool and Spa

What this record tells you

Southern Pool and Spa holds Florida licence RP252555573, a RP classification which authorises work as a certified/registered pool/spa 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 58% of the 122 active pool & spa licences based in the Melbourne & Space Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 5 years of continuous licensure.

Southern Pool and Spa is one of 12 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Rockledge, 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.
