How the index was counted

The source file is the District 3 public food-service license extract (hrfood3.csv) linked from the Florida DBPR Hotels and Restaurants public-records page, downloaded 2026-11-10. District 3 covers Citrus, Hernando, Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, and Sumter. Rows whose Location County is Hillsborough total 4,737 licenses. Rows whose Rank Code is SEAT — the permanent food-service seating rank in the same public-records layout — total 2,890. Of those seating licenses, 1,915 list Location City as Tampa.

The same public-records page’s current-fiscal-year District 3 inspection extract (3fdinspi.csv) contains 3,854 Hillsborough inspection visits with inspection dates from 2026-07-01 through 2026-11-06 (2,542 of those visits list Location City as Tampa; 3,112 are typed Routine - Food). Those inspection counts are a year-to-date activity total, not the named index. The license snapshot is the index because it is a count of current licenses, not a forecast. Counts, the seating-license table, and a parser are in seo-experiment/data/stat-pages/tampa/.

What this number is not

A seating license is not a hood-cleaning invoice and not an NFPA 96 interval. Mobile food vehicles, non-seating kitchens, caterers, and vendors are in the 4,737 Hillsborough total and are not inside the 2,890 seating figure. Pinellas is in the same District 3 extract; those rows are not added to the Hillsborough count. Sarasota is Region 7 and is not in this file.

Tampa Fire Rescue’s $75 building inspection fee (up to 5,000 square feet) and $30 hood-extinguisher add-on remain published line items, not a cleaning quote. Typical cleaning ranges mentioned elsewhere on this site are market talk, not figures from DBPR. NFPA 96 schedule, exhaust fan, and grease duct remain request pages. This site does not issue a cleaning certificate.
