Hillsborough County pool/spa licensure at a glance
Florida pages are county pages: DBPR locates each licence by county code, so every figure here counts Hillsborough County as a whole. 220 current DBPR pool/spa licenses are filed in the county - 216 (98.2%) certified, valid anywhere in Florida, and 4 registered, valid only in the local jurisdiction that certified the holder's competency - a difference in what the licence permits, which is why each listing shows its tier. DBPR publishes a real original licensure date, so tenure is measurable and is what these pages rank on: the median Hillsborough County license has been held 6 years, the longest-standing dates to 1979, and 44 licenses have been held 20 or more years. Expirations here are the state's renewal structure, not a company fact: DBPR renews on statewide two-year cohorts, and the county's licenses fall on 3 cohort dates, the nearest August 31, 2026. One gap we will not paper over: the extracts carry no insurance, no bond and no phone for any licensee, so no Florida listing shows one - that is a gap in the state's file, not a finding about any contractor. DBPR cannot link straight to a record, so every listing above shows its number for you to paste into DBPR's licensee search. How we verify.

How do I check a pool contractor's license in Florida?
