What this data can carry
The license map of American vacation towns. Florida alone has 50,295 current vacation rental licenses on the state DBPR file — and they cluster hard: the Kissimmee–Davenport corridor outside Disney is the most licensed short-term rental territory in the country. Every state page on this site names the top licensed communities, with counts.
The permit pipeline, not just the permit count. In New Orleans, 1,754 records carry an active status while 24,275 sit in the application and renewal pipeline — a concrete, local way to show how a city's enforcement regime actually moves.
What cities publish — and what they hide. We dropped 83,678 raw rows that could not be verified against an official source. The gap between states that publish clean license files and states that publish nothing is itself a transparency story, and we are happy to walk you through which is which.
Your county's number, on deadline. If the cut you need is not on a page — one county, one city, one registry, a comparison — email us what you are chasing. Custom aggregate cuts usually go back same day, always within 24 hours, always free.
