Methodology
How this record is built
Every figure Dwellory publishes is either read directly from the state licensure registers or derived from it. This page says which is which, because a number whose derivation is unstated is an assertion rather than a measurement.
1. Source
Four state registers, at two depths. Florida and Virginia publish their registers in bulk, the states update the files weekly, and this site reads both in full. Florida licenses the person and the firm: the DBPR community-association manager and firm extracts, plus the real estate licensee and corporation files. Virginia licenses the firm and gives individuals a separate certificate: the DPOR Common Interest Community regulant lists, covering associations, condominium registrations, management firms and certificate holders.
Connecticut and Nevada are counted in aggregate, with no names or addresses. Connecticut licenses the person and publishes its licence records as open data. Nevada licenses individuals only and publishes a spreadsheet of active licences, so its counts describe the managers who hold a licence today.
All four are public records published by the states. Dwellory's compilation of them is its own work.
2. What is read
The published extracts as the state issues them, in full, weekly. No sampling. Where a regional file overlaps a master file the master is used and the regional file is discarded, because summing them double counts.
3. ⛔ What is deliberately not read
Contact emails are present in the Virginia source on the great majority of association rows. They are withheld to a directory outside every deploy tree and appear nowhere on this site.
Individual licensee and certificate-holder rows are not published at row level in any jurisdiction. Counts, city concentrations and expiry cohorts are.
4. ⚠️ What is derived, and therefore weaker
Figures computed here rather than reported by the source are marked as derived. The following are computed by Dwellory rather than reported by the source.
- County and city concentration. Counted from the address field on each row. A firm with no usable city is counted in the total and omitted from the concentration, so the two figures do not sum.
- Expiry cohorts. Grouped from the licence expiry date. ⛔ A cohort is a count of licences expiring, not a prediction that any of them lapses.
- Entry counts. Counted from the first-issue date on each record, by month and over the same dates in each year. The Florida file lists almost only managers marked active, so a manager who leaves drops out of it and nothing records when or why: exit rates are not published here, and earlier months are missing anyone who has since left.
5. What does not ship
A page per licensed individual is not built and will not be. It is both the near-duplicate shape that demotes a domain and the republication of a private person in a record they did not choose to appear in, and those two objections happen to forbid the same artifact.
6. Refresh and staleness
The registers are re-fetched weekly and this record was compiled 2026-10-29. Claims that turned out wrong are logged, with dates, on the corrections page. Every figure on this site carries the date it was read. Nothing here is re-checked at page load.
7. ⛔ What this record is not
Not legal advice, and not a determination of anyone's standing. Dwellory records what the state registers say and when they said it. A licence status here is a reading of a public extract on a stated date, not a verification, and it must never be used to decide whether a person or firm may act.
