How these numbers are made
Source. Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations: quarterly bulk corporate data file, release dated Oct 7, 2026. Every corporation, LLC, limited partnership,
nonprofit and declaration of trust in that file is counted once, on its filing date (for a foreign entity, the date it
qualified to do business in Florida). Counts start on Jan 1, 2014.
County. The first five digits of the principal-address ZIP code are matched to a 2020 Census
ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA); a ZCTA that spans counties goes to the county holding the largest share of its land
area (ties to the lower county FIPS code). Land area, not population or addresses, decides a split ZIP.
The address is the latest on file, not the address at formation. An entity that has moved is
counted in the county where its principal address is now. Entities with a principal address outside Florida (about 4% a
year) or with no usable ZIP are counted in the statewide totals but in no county.
"Active at snapshot" means the entity's status was active in the Oct 7, 2026 file, not on its
filing date. Entities dissolved since then, including the administrative dissolutions each September for a missed
annual report, count as formed but not active, so older years show lower active shares.
Recent days. The state cuts the file a few days before its release date. Counts are complete
through Sep 25, 2026; later days hold only late-recorded filings and are marked * (partial).
Counts only. No names, addresses, officers or document numbers are shown or kept here.
