How is Broward different from Florida? This page compares HQ/base credential counts, active share, and trade mix using identical definitions. Local permit export is still requested — missing export is not zero activity.
Only READY public metrics appear as numbers. Local permit and local credential datasets are pending — missing export is not zero events. Florida contractor credentials whose DBPR license mailing county_code is 16 (Broward). Headquarters/base mailing county — not operating geography, not local authorization, and not permit activity.
14,616
Florida credentials with a mailing/base county of Broward
Florida contractor credentials whose DBPR license mailing county_code is 16 (Broward). Headquarters/base mailing county — not operating geography, not local authorization, and not permit activity.
11,279
Active credentials with a mailing/base county of Broward
Active is DBPR secondary status Active. Not an active-business count and not local authorization.
12,502
Trade credentials with a mailing/base county of Broward
Excludes FRO, CRS1, and PVDR. Still credentials, not companies.
32
Mapped local permitting jurisdictions (metadata)
AHJ metadata rows. Not jurisdictions with permits loaded. Not local credential coverage.
Credential extract as of 2026-08-10. Not a live DBPR session.
Identical definitions only: HQ/base credential counts, active share on that same universe, and trade-bucket share. Not permit volume vs credentials.

Each category combines the certified and registered CILB classes that belong together. Registered residential (RR) is residential, not roofing. Counts are credentials, not companies. Open a category to browse discovery results.
Jurisdiction mapping tells us where local research must occur. It does not mean permit activity has been acquired. actualDataCoverageCount is permit/local-credential-loaded AHJs and is currently none.
Florida regulatory records associated with contractors in this county research population are statewide DBPR/DFS events tied to a credential whose mailing county is Broward County. That is not “Broward enforcement actions.” A complaint is not a finding. An investigation is not a final disposition. No public county-level count is currently published.
Local permit research is being expanded (request R002812-082626). Missing export is not zero events. Last-3-year, open, pending, and final counts are not published.
Local credential / certification export pending (request R002813-082626). Missing export is not zero events. Future statuses stay distinct: CURRENT_LOCAL_AUTHORIZATION, CURRENT_REGISTRATION, STATE_ENROLLED, INSTALLER_REGISTRATION, HISTORICAL_LOCAL_LICENSE, PREEMPTED_CLASS, EXPIRED, REVOKED, UNKNOWN. A state credential is not local authorization.
Coverage is Statewide Research. Enhanced Local Research is documented and not activated — operating geography and local exports are not proven. Research depth is not contractor quality.
DBPR construction credentials
Florida DBPR / CILB
CILB licensee extract filtered by official mailing county_code for this county.
Mailing/base county is not jobsites or local licenses.
Statewide regulatory research (context)
Florida DBPR / CILB and Florida DFS
Licensed-contractor discipline, unlicensed activity, Recovery Fund, and DFS workers’ compensation / stop-work observations as statewide research.
These are Florida statewide records. Associating them with a mailing-county population is not county enforcement.
Mapped local jurisdictions
Broward County Building Code Division
AHJ metadata seed (municipal vs unincorporated). Not permit rows.
Metadata ≠ permit coverage.
A pending source is not yet contributing evidence.
Local permit extract
Broward County Building Code Division
Request R002812-082626
Existing electronic permit metadata — requested, not loaded.
Local credential / certification extract
Broward County Building Code Division
Request R002813-082626
County certification / enrollment extract — requested, not loaded.
Florida-specific licensing concepts. Educational only — not legal advice, not a recommendation, and not a substitute for confirming current status with DBPR and the local building department.
A DBPR / CILB credential is a statewide occupation license. A building permit is issued by a local authority having jurisdiction. A state license does not automatically prove a specific job was permitted. Ask who pulls the permit and confirm with the building department for that address.
Certified contractors are licensed by CILB and may work where that class is recognized, still subject to local permitting. Registered contractors operate under a more limited local-jurisdiction framework. Confirm the class on the DBPR record.
Permit records, when loaded, are operating evidence: who pulled work, where, and in which AHJ. They are a separate layer from the state credential. Confirmed county-issued rows are not complete municipal history. Issued is not final.
Florida counties typically contain a county/unincorporated AHJ plus municipalities that issue their own building permits. Mapped jurisdictions tell us where local research must occur. Mapping is not permit coverage.
The county on a DBPR credential is the license mailing / headquarters-base county. It does not prove the contractor serves the entire county, works only there, or pulled permits there.

Not every home-service job is a CILB contractor class. Some specialties were preempted from local occupational licensing. Absence of a CILB credential is not automatically proof of illegal work — check the correct board and the local building official.
After storms, unsolicited door-knocking, large cash deposits, and pressure to sign immediately are warning signs. Verify the full license class, the business name on the contract, and local permitting. This is research, not an emergency referral.
A complaint or notice is not a final finding. An investigation is not enforcement. Multiple action rows can belong to one matter. Florida statewide DBPR/DFS records associated with a mailing-county population are not “county enforcement actions.”
Identify the city or unincorporated area of the jobsite, then use that AHJ’s permit search — not a countywide warehouse unless the source is proven countywide. Unincorporated Palm Beach: PZB. Unincorporated Broward / BMSD: county Building Code Division. Unincorporated Miami-Dade: RER Building (folio 30). Unincorporated Pinellas and Accela partner cities: county BDRS. Municipal jobs use that city’s portal.
