Simmons Homebuilders of N.W. Florida, Inc

What this record tells you

Simmons Homebuilders of N.W. Florida, Inc holds Florida licence RR0067213, a RR 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 1998, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 6% of the 521 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Destin & Fort Walton Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 28 years of continuous licensure.

Simmons Homebuilders of N.W. Florida, Inc is one of 29 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Defuniak Springs, 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.
