PaperworkRunner

Check every sub's Florida license at once.

Paste your sub list, one sub per line: the license number, the business name, or both. Each line is checked against DBPR's construction licensee file, which PaperworkRunner loads every week. Free, and no sign-up.

Up to 50 lines at a time. Paste straight from a spreadsheet: email addresses and phone numbers in a line are ignored. We don't keep your list; we only count lookups to stop abuse.

Why it matters: under Florida law, the Construction Industry Licensing Board can discipline a licensed contractor who helps an unlicensed person or business perform work that requires a state license, if the contractor knew or had reasonable grounds to know they were unlicensed. Penalties can include a fine of up to $10,000 per violation, probation, and suspension or revocation of the contractor's license (Fla. Stat. § 489.129(1)(d)). Not legal advice; ask your attorney how it applies to you. Read the statute.

Then PaperworkRunner keeps checking

Every week
Each sub's license is checked again against the state's new file the day it loads.
Florida DBPR
When it drops
If a license is no longer current and active, the sub shows as "Doesn't meet requirements" in your roster once that week's file loads, and you get an email.
Someone else's license
When a license number belongs to a different business than the sub, PaperworkRunner flags it.
The record
Every check is saved with its date and source, and goes into the audit file PDF.

Free plan: reminders for up to 5 subs a month and 10 reads a month. No card needed. It doesn't cover your whole roster.

What this check covers

  • State contractor licenses (DBPR) only, not local licenses.
  • Some trades, like painting, tile and flooring, don't need a state contractor license, so there's nothing to find for them here.
  • A match by name alone may not be your sub. Confirm the license number with the sub.
  • It shows what the state's file said on the day it loaded. A license can change after that.
