Florida is different from every other state in this directory. Being a registered septic tank contractor does not by itself allow a company to pump your tank. DEP says a registered contractor may pump only with an active Septage Disposal Service Permit from the county health department, which is issued annually, county by county. Florida does not publish those county permits anywhere statewide, so nothing on this page is evidence that a company holds one. Ask for it, and confirm it with the Charlotte County health department.
Florida registrations expire every September 30. The state's own active file contradicts itself: many entries carry an expiration date that has already passed while still appearing on the active list and staying off the companion “not currently registered” list. 6 of the 17 businesses here have an expiration still in the future; the other 11 are shown with the state's published date and flagged, listed after the current ones. We publish the state's date rather than deciding for you — a flag is not a finding that a registration has lapsed, only that the state's published date has passed.
These businesses list addresses around ARCADIA, ENGLEWOOD, FORT MYERS, PLACIDA, PORT CHARLOTTE, PUNTA GORDA. The county on the state file is the business address, not a service area, and a nearby address does not establish coverage for your street.
Florida registers people, not companies, so a business appears through the contractors registered to it and a firm can hold several registration numbers. We group them onto one card by business name and phone together, because generic names repeat across unrelated firms. Registration covers installation, repair, modification, maintenance and pumping — it is a contracting credential, not a pumping-only one.
