Renew Online
If you are a local specialty contractor, find out important information about your license.
Insurance must be current to renew. Insurance certificates must show PCCLB at our NEW address as certificate holder. Upload insurance certificates via the Pinellas County Access Portal for priority service. Certificates sent via email are processed in the order in which they are received. If your insurance or workers' compensation exemption expired and your license was suspended, you may be assessed a reinstatement penalty. If your new policy does not start on the same day your old policy expired, you may be assessed a lapse fee. Keep your insurance current.

In a state of emergency, verify the license status of state-certified contractors online at www.myfloridalicense.com. The PCCLB may grant temporary licenses to specialty contractors from other jurisdictions in Florida based on damage assessments. Fines for unlicensed contracting start at $500.
