What these figures mean
Data through August 2026
The counts cover matching records from the Florida jurisdictions in our dataset. Publication coverage varies by place and year.
Declared job value is the value entered on a permit application. The value sample counts records with usable declared values; the lower, middle and upper figures are its quartiles.
A match requires every term in the required group and, where shown, at least one term in the additional group. Open the matching terms to see the rule for each pattern.
Counts are not additive: a permit can match more than one term. Adding category counts can count the same permit more than once.
Value figures are omitted where the sample is too small. Discuss the scope of your own project with the practice or contractor when requesting a price.
