Florida Contractor Records Expanding coverage during initial rollout.

What Is PublicWarden

A free verification tool that pulls Florida contractor records from two government databases — DBPR for licenses and DWC for workers' compensation insurance — into one clear page. Not a review site. Not a directory. Just public records, organized for the person about to hire.

How It Works

1. Search

Enter a contractor's name, business name, or Florida license number.

2. Verify

See their license status, insurance coverage, complaints, and disciplinary actions — sourced from Florida DBPR and DWC public records.

3. Decide

Make an informed hiring decision based on verified public records — not anonymous reviews.

What We Verify

License status — active, suspended, or revoked per Florida DBPR

Workers' comp insurance — current, lapsed, or cancelled per Florida DWC

License classification — contractor type and certification category

Public complaints — formal complaints filed through DBPR

Disciplinary actions — fines, probation, suspension, or revocation

Business age — years licensed from original licensure date

Data sourced from Florida DBPR and Florida DWC under Florida's Sunshine Law (Chapter 119, F.S.).

What We Don't Verify

PublicWarden does not guarantee workmanship, evaluate review quality, endorse or rank contractors, verify general liability insurance, or predict future business conduct. An active license and current insurance are baseline requirements — they do not by themselves indicate quality of work. Use verification alongside references, estimates, and your own judgment.
