Central Permitting’s Contractor Licensing system has been upgraded to electronic submittals in order to make it more convenient for licensed professionals to register and renew their State and Local licenses. All steps of the registration can now be performed from the comfort of your home.

Note: If you would like to search to see if a contractor is active in our county, please call 727-847-8009 OR you may email us- stating their name, business name, and license number.

The Contractor Licensing Section stores and processes information related to contractor licensing such as changes of address, Workers’ Compensation, bonds and insurance.
In order for a licensed contractor to be able to pull building permits, be listed as a subcontractor on a building permit and to obtain inspections in unincorporated Pasco County, the contractor must first register with the Contractor Licensing Section.
It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that all licensing information on file with Pasco County is current.
