That is the plan: name the trade and the counties. The assignment to a trade is planned to rest on the NAICS code and, where it can be matched, on the type of state license. Where the assignment is uncertain, we will say so before quoting.
Florida industry export
The export covers construction companies and specialty trade contractors registered in Florida, defined by NAICS 2022 (23). For scale: 406,521 businesses in Florida per the U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 + Nonemployer Statistics 2024: 68,008 with employees in 2023 and 338,513 without employees in 2024; that is official statistics. Our Florida database is active, but per-industry record counts are still being compiled. Tell us the trade (for example roofing, electrical or plumbing) and the counties, and we will reply with what we can deliver and when.

Data as of October 15, 2026. Industry size: U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 + Nonemployer Statistics 2024: businesses with paid employees (CBP 2023, establishments, NAICS 2017 codes 23) plus businesses without paid employees (NES 2024, NAICS 2022 codes 23); not our dataset. Statewide figure for all industries: Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations, Yearly Statistics, as of July 8, 2026; not our dataset. NAICS titles: 23 Construction (U.S. Census Bureau).
The industry covers NAICS sector 23: construction of buildings (236), heavy and civil engineering construction (237) and specialty trade contractors (238), from general contractors and home builders to roofing, electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning companies.
A trade contractor typically serves a limited area, so we expect most requests to limit the selection to a few counties. The county is derived from the principal address of the business, not from the area where its crews actually work: a roofer registered in Hillsborough County may do most of its jobs in Pasco or Polk.
Construction also includes many very small firms. A license holder who works as a sole proprietor under their own name is not required to form a corporation or an LLC, so a list built on corporate records does not contain every licensed contractor in a county.
Our expectation, which is an assumption and not a finding from data: We expect a phone number to be the contact field contractors publish most often, and a general email address to be less common on the websites of small trade businesses. Per-industry contact counts are still being compiled; once measured, they will replace this note.
We are looking for roofing and air-conditioning contractors with a principal address in Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties that publish a phone number, in order to present our supply program to them. Pure engineering firms should not be included. Please state what you can deliver, the columns, the price and the as-of date of the data.
This is an example only, not a promise of a record count.
Official statistics
Each figure adds construction establishments with paid employees (County Business Patterns) and contractors without paid employees (Nonemployer Statistics), by NAICS code. Contractors without employees far outnumber those with employees. Specialty trade contractors (238) make up close to two-thirds of the sector; three large trades are shown separately.
Miami-Dade (91,639), Broward (39,243), Hillsborough (29,758), Palm Beach (27,645), Orange (27,620). Figures for all 67 counties are in the table Florida businesses by county.
Sources: U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023; U.S. Census Bureau, Nonemployer Statistics 2024 (methodology). Each row adds establishments with paid employees (County Business Patterns 2023, NAICS 2017) and businesses without paid employees (Nonemployer Statistics 2024, NAICS 2022, which leaves out businesses with less than $1,000 in receipts except in construction). These are Census Bureau statistics, not counts from our dataset.
Contractors are regulated under Chapter 489, Part I of the Florida Statutes. The Construction Industry Licensing Board is created within the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (Fla. Stat. § 489.107); the license categories (general, building, residential, roofing, sheet metal, air-conditioning, mechanical, pool, plumbing, underground utility, solar and others) are defined in § 489.105. A certified contractor may work anywhere in the state; a registered contractor is limited to the local jurisdictions where it holds a certificate of competency.
Electrical and alarm system contractors have their own board under Chapter 489, Part II (Fla. Stat. § 489.507). A selection of “electricians” therefore draws on different license records than a selection of roofers or plumbers.
Septic tank contractors are registered separately under Chapter 489, Part III (Fla. Stat. § 489.552), where the responsible department is the Department of Environmental Protection. By NAICS they are usually classified with site preparation or plumbing.
The planned export is built on the business record at the Division of Corporations; license type and status are planned as an additional attribute where a license can be matched reliably. Anyone can check a license in the DBPR license search; rely on that check, not on a list, to confirm that a contractor is licensed.

FAQ
That is the plan: name the trade and the counties. The assignment to a trade is planned to rest on the NAICS code and, where it can be matched, on the type of state license. Where the assignment is uncertain, we will say so before quoting.
The state offers a free public lookup: the DBPR license search finds a contractor by name, license number, city or county and license type. It is built for checking one license at a time. The department also offers download files: its Instant Public Records pages include one for the construction industry, and its public records disclaimer says that it “provides copies of electronic records to the public through free download” and that “data is refreshed weekly” (as read on October 11, 2026). Those files list licensees, many of them individuals, and they are not sorted into a prospect list by trade and county.
No. License status changes, and a match between a business record and a license record can be wrong. Always verify a license yourself before you rely on it.
Under Fla. Stat. § 489.105, a certified contractor holds a statewide certificate of competency and may contract in any jurisdiction in Florida; a registered contractor has registered with the state on the basis of local competency requirements and may contract only in those local jurisdictions.
No. They form a separate industry, Architecture and Engineering. If you need both groups, say so in your request.
The size of the industry in Florida is 406,521 businesses in Florida per the U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 + Nonemployer Statistics 2024: 68,008 with employees in 2023 and 338,513 without employees in 2024 (source); that is the official market scale, not a count of our delivered records. Our per-industry record count is still being compiled; contact us for the current count for Construction and Trades. For orientation: Active business entities registered with the Florida Division of Corporations (corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships and trusts) – 4,129,182 as of July 8, 2026 (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations, Yearly Statistics). That figure covers all industries and counts registered entities whether or not they operate. The Census figures on this page give a sense of scale for Construction and Trades.
Federal law does not require prior consent for commercial email to businesses, but every message must comply with the CAN-SPAM Act (FTC compliance guide); sales calls and texts are restricted more tightly by federal rules and by Fla. Stat. § 501.059. An export contains no consent. Our data is not screened against any do-not-call list, including the National Do Not Call Registry and the Florida Do Not Call list. How Fla. Stat. § 501.059(4) applies to business records that include phone numbers is a question for an attorney, and no Florida dataset with phone numbers will be released until that question is resolved. The compliance of a campaign is your responsibility. The rules are explained in Cold outreach rules in Florida; this is not legal advice.
