The Pinellas County Construction
Licensing Board was created in 1973 by a Special
Act of the Legislature to regulate the
construction industry in Pinellas County.
Since the Board was created by an Act of
the Legislature, it operates as a separate
and autonomous policy-making body.
The
function of the Pinellas County Construction
Licensing Board, also
known as the PCCLB, is to regulate certain construction and home improvement contractors practicing
in all Pinellas jurisdictions.
In
addition, the Board adopts and amends the Family of building codes
2004 for application and enforcement
countywide to provide safe, economic, and sound
buildings and structures throughout Pinellas
County.
