Florida: official state license records, active licenses by original license date, counted Oct 22, 2026. Georgia (321) and Arizona (141): state license records (Georgia DCH, Arizona ADHS), active licenses by original license date, pulled Oct 22, 2026. Arizona posts monthly, so September may grow.
Limits. Some Florida licenses appear in the public record weeks after their license date, so September will grow. Some rows are ownership changes, not new businesses. We label each one in the weekly file.
Homemaker and companion services are 91% of the Florida count. Home health is small and slow. For which states publish emails, see the field audit
