Honest coverage
Where we have coverage
Contractor Trust Hub is independent research from official public records — not a marketplace and not a ranking. Today you can Verify in 11 live states (Florida, Texas, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington, California, Arizona, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Colorado). We do not cover all contractors nationwide.
- Extracts can lag. Boards update daily; our published extracts may be older. Always re-check the official board the day you hire.
- Absence is not clearance. Missing discipline, entity, or permit rows means we do not have them in this extract — not that the history is clean.
- No paid placement. Order and filters are for browsing evidence, not “best contractor” scores.

Florida property / permit research
Separate from multi-state Verify: looking up a Florida address for permit history is progressive and incomplete. Empty results are common and do not prove a clean permit history. Always confirm with the local building department when it matters.
Counties with partial extracts today:
- Miami-Dade
- Broward
- Orange
- Hillsborough
- Palm Beach
- Duval
- Pinellas
- Lee
- Collier
- Sarasota
- Pasco
- Polk
Examples of counties not yet connected for address permit research (not a complete list of gaps):
- Brevard
- Volusia
- Seminole
Before you hire
- Use Verify to pull the evidence we have for a name or license number.
- Open the Trust Report, then confirm status on the official board site.
- Read how we collect and link evidence, and our disclaimer.
