Florida license evidence · outcome guide

Verify the state license first. Then check the local permit layer.

Florida DBPR publishes the statewide lodging-license record. A city or county can separately require a local short-term-rental permit. This workflow keeps those two authorities distinct and preserves the official source evidence for each result.

1. Start with a bounded state-license check

Use one county and a small output.

For an Orange County vacation dwelling check, start with:

{
  "county": "Orange",
  "status": "current",
  "licenseType": "dwelling",
  "maxRecords": 25
}

The Actor scans all seven DBPR district extracts for county, city, and name-filtered work. DBPR organizes files by licensing district rather than strict county boundaries, so a correct county search cannot assume one file.

2. Inspect the evidence, not only the status

Read the record fields.

Confirm the DBPR license number, source-defined status, expiration, property address, county, license type, district, source_url, record fingerprint, and source timestamp.

Open RUN-RECEIPT.

The receipt records the exact query, count, district files fetched, district failures, and content hashes. If any district failed after retries, treat the output as partial and rerun before making a consequential conclusion.

3. Continue from Florida to the local authority

A current DBPR lodging license is not proof that every city or county registration is satisfied. Use the U.S. STR Permit Registry for supported local sources, including Orlando and the Florida county products in the current 29-jurisdiction boundary.

Responsible result language: a no-match means the searched source did not publish a matching row under the tested scope. It does not by itself prove that a property is illegal, unlicensed, exempt, or outside another authority's program.

What to do next

Use the complete-scope monitoring guide when the goal is recurring change evidence. For a property portfolio, the $99 Permit Evidence Audit matches up to 25 submitted addresses in one supported jurisdiction and credits the full $99 toward an accepted $500 founding monitoring pilot.
