DBPR's HR400C summary dated Oct 1, 2026; the extract is from a different day, so small differences are expected and the build fails beyond 1.5% or 15 licenses. Group and collective vacation rental licenses list units in more than one county and are checked statewide only. Temporary event food vendors are in DBPR's file but not its summary, and are not counted. An alcohol license is active at primary status 20, Current; DBPR publishes no current alcohol summary to compare with.
