Why concentration matters

A lot owned by a single-purpose company is one job. A lot that belongs to a group with twenty more is a route: the same property manager approves the striping, the sealcoat and the repairs across all of them.

That is why this report counts lots by who controls them, not only by where they are. The counties with the most lots are not always the ones where one relationship covers the most pavement.

How the figures are made

Commercial lots are improved commercial and industrial parcels on the county tax roll (Florida Department of Revenue land-use codes 11 to 49, without vacant land). Each is resolved to its owner company and the group that controls it, from Florida corporate records.

Every figure comes from one read-only snapshot of the LotViews database, the same one behind the Data page, the area pages and the ZIP lookup, so the numbers agree everywhere on the site.

City is the city the tax roll records for each parcel, so unincorporated areas are not in the city table; county totals include them.

The Data page maps the same lots and shows the aerial history, the ZIP lookup breaks them down by ZIP code, and the methodology lists every source.
