Counts combine canonical public-record tables maintained by Sunshine Data: Marion County parcels, permits, Clerk official records, SunBiz corporations, Ocala invoices, and county checks. Monthly activity uses Clerk official records and Marion County permit applications. The trend chart uses Clerk official-record exports and live Clerk records; the latest month can lag by roughly one week.
