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 Tallahassee-area contractor join?
It costs nothing at any step, and no work is sent until the last one is done.
A registered contractor can work only where its registration applies; a certified one works anywhere in Florida.
- Apply online with your trades and every county you will drive to.
- HQ reviews your application, and an executive account manager calls only if something needs sorting out.
- HQ checks your certificate of insurance, your W-9 and, in a licensed trade, your state license.
- 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.
- Check a Florida license
- Verify a Licensee

Questions
What Tallahassee-area contractors ask.
How do I get maintenance work from property managers in Tallahassee?
Apply to 1Stop's vendor network at 1stopservicepro.com/vendors/apply and list every county you will drive to; Leon, Gadsden, Wakulla and Jefferson counties make up the Tallahassee 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 Tallahassee 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 Tallahassee?
If your business is based in Wakulla County, yes: it 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.
