FL DBPRFlorida DBPR Construction Industry Licensing Board
Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation · Tier-2 · profile-enrichment (renders on matched profiles)
Florida DBPR's Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) is the canonical source for state-issued contractor licenses in Florida. DBPR publishes the master file as a bulk CSV at a predictable URL — distinct from AZ ROC and California's CSLB, both of which require manual public-records requests.
How this source shows up on OwnListed.
We match HVAC, roofer, plumber, general-contractor, and pool-builder profiles in Florida against the CILB master file (CONSTRUCTIONLICENSE_1.csv) and surface the license number, classification, status, issue date, and expiration on the profile. Bond / workers-comp / insurance / discipline fields stay write-locked pending operator copy review.
What this source does NOT mean
State license records reflect public state filings. Status, expiration, and bond information change over time — confirm current status with the state board directly before hiring.
Per-field display contract.
Every field below has a `display_allowed` flag in the §94 provenance schema. Write-locked fields are captured to provenance for audit but never rendered on profile pages.

4 fieldsWhat we can’t infer from this source.
- Bond / workers-comp / insurance / discipline data is captured to provenance but not rendered — operator copy review pending.
- Solar (PV) is NOT a discrete CILB class; solar contractors typically hold CMC (mechanical) or CGC (general) licenses. We don't show a Solar-specific license today.
- Electrical contractors are licensed by ECLB (Electrical Contractors Licensing Board), a separate DBPR file. The §112B parser is deferred.
- OwnListed cites the DBPR publication; status changes between snapshots are not reflected until the next 30-day re-pull.

What the source allows.
Florida Sunshine Law (§ 119.01(2)(b), F.S.). DBPR's read-medisclaimer notice is the agency's read-only-disclosure framing, not a redistribution restriction. Bulk redistribution of license records is permitted with attribution. OwnListed displays per-licensee fields on individual profiles; aggregated statistics (e.g. license counts by county) require attribution back to DBPR's CILB master file.
What a single field looks like in the graph.
