The work
Why take property maintenance work through 1Stop?
1Stop is the contracting party on every job. It buys the work from you and sells it to the property manager, so you invoice one company, never bid against another vendor, and are paid net-14 from the day 1Stop verifies the job complete.
Getting set up
How does a Jacksonville-area contractor join?

- Approval sends the vendor agreement to the 1Stop app, where you sign it and finish the onboarding checklist.
- Job offers start once the checklist is complete.

Questions
What Jacksonville-area contractors ask.
How do I get maintenance work from property managers in Jacksonville?
Apply to 1Stop's vendor network at 1stopservicepro.com/vendors/apply and list every county you will drive to; Duval, St. Johns, Clay, Nassau and Baker counties make up the Jacksonville area. HQ reviews and approves your application, checks your certificate of insurance, W-9 and any license your trade needs, and offers start once your onboarding checklist is complete. Joining is free, and jobs are paid net-14.
Does 1Stop charge Jacksonville contractors a fee?
No. There is no listing fee, no lead fee and no percentage taken out of what you are paid, to join or at any point after.
Do I need a business tax receipt to work in Jacksonville?
If your business is based in Duval and St. Johns counties, yes: each levies a county business tax through its tax collector, and a city can levy its own (section 205.042). A DBPR-licensed contractor based elsewhere in Florida that pays the tax at home owes none for temporary work here.
