Florida Contractor License Lookup (DBPR): Roofing, HVAC, Pool & Electrical

Look up, verify and export Florida contractor licenses from the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR)'s own public-record files: about 129,000 licenses (about 115,000 currently active) from the Construction Industry Licensing Board (certified and registered general, building, residential, roofing, air-conditioning, mechanical, plumbing, pool/spa, solar, sheet metal, underground utility and specialty contractors) and the Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board (electrical, electrical specialty and alarm system contractors), with licensee name, company (DBA), address, county, status, original issue date and expiry date.

• Verify contractors by DBPR license number (CGC1512345, CCC029606, EC13001234…) or by company / licensee name, in bulk.
• Export lead lists: every active roofer in Hillsborough County, every pool contractor in the state, every solar contractor in Miami-Dade, every electrician in Orange County.
• New-business leads: contractors first licensed since a date (about 970 new construction and electrical licenses were issued between Oct 1 and Oct 31, 2026).
• Renewal leads: licenses expiring in the next N days (Florida contractor licenses renew on a two-year cycle, so this is most useful in the months before August 31).

No login, no browser, no CAPTCHA, no scraping of the DBPR license search: the actor reads DBPR's free statewide licensee extract files, so a run over the whole state takes seconds and costs a fraction of a cent in compute.

  "licenseCode": "CVC",
  "licenseType": "Certified Solar Contractor",
  "businessName": "PRESTIGE WINDOWS & DOORS",
  "personName": "SCAVUZZO, CRISTINA ELIZABETH",

  "dataAsOf": "2026-10-31",
  "verifyUrl": "https://www.myfloridalicense.com/wl11.asp"
}

personName is the licensed individual (the qualifier); businessName is the company they qualify, when DBPR lists one. Specialty licenses (SCC, RX, ES, ET) carry their specialty in licenseType and specialties (e.g. "Gas Line Specialty", "Swimming Pool Layout", "Sign Specialty"). A RUN_SUMMARY record in the key-value store shows how many records were scanned and saved, the data date, and any license numbers that weren't found.

Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or use it from the Apify API, Zapier, Make, n8n or the Apify MCP server for AI agents. Save an input as a Task and schedule it weekly to catch newly licensed contractors.

Pricing

Pay per result: $2 per 1,000 license records on the Free plan, cheaper on paid plans, plus a tiny start fee. Filters run before anything is saved, so you only pay for the records you asked for. maxItems caps every run.

Data and limits

• Source: DBPR's public-record licensee extract files for the Construction Industry and Electrical Contractors' licensing boards (Florida public records, Chapter 119 F.S., free download). DBPR's download server blocks most cloud IPs, so the actor reads a copy of the same official files that we refresh from DBPR daily, and tries DBPR directly when that copy is stale. Every record shows its file date in dataAsOf.
• DBPR's files don't include phone numbers or e-mail addresses, complaints or disciplinary history; check verifyUrl (DBPR's own license search) for those. Addresses are exactly as DBPR publishes them (some repeat a PO box).
• Covers state-certified and state-registered contractors. Purely local (county or city) certificates of competency aren't in DBPR's files.
• This is public licensing data; use it in line with Florida and US law (including telemarketing and anti-spam rules).
• Not affiliated with or endorsed by DBPR or the State of Florida.
