That is 56% of every licensed community association manager in the state, renewing against a single date.
Florida licenses 23,954 individual community association managers and 2,001 management firms. The licences do not expire evenly across the year; they cluster on 30 September, and the 2026 cohort is the larger of the two currently on the register.
The short version. 13,514 individual CAM licences carry an expiry of 30 September 2026 and 10,440 carry 30 September 2028. Between them that is effectively the whole licensed population, split across two renewal years.
A board hiring a manager in mid 2026, or a management firm planning staffing, is planning against a date the state has already published and almost nobody has counted.

Florida DBPR publishes this register as bulk CSV and refreshes it every week
Florida runs CAM licences on a two-year cycle ending 30 September, so every licence lands on one of two dates rather than on its own anniversary. The split between the two cohorts is a function of when each manager first licensed and renewed, not of anything about their standing.
This counts scheduled expiries, not lapses. Most of these licences will be renewed. The number is useful because it sizes a deadline, not because it predicts failure, and a page that blurred those two would be making a claim the register cannot support.
Searchable, with licence number, city and licence dates, from the state extract rather than a directory that charges a firm to appear.

One trap in this file, recorded because it would have produced a wrong number. The active/inactive column is populated on 100% of individual manager rows and on only 3.8% of firm rows. Counting active firms from that column returns 75 against a real 2,001. Firm counts here come from the licence type column instead.
