Type a name — yours, your company's, or just part of one — and see every short-term rental licence the city has on record for it: the address, the licence number, whether it is currently active, and a link to check each line against the city's open-data record.

Across 62 issued licences we sampled from the register, the median term runs 365 days — about a year. That is why a licence you remember taking out can quietly stop being current: the register moves on a clock, and it does not send a reminder.
Orlando's data carries two different columns and they disagree in an important way: a licence whose status reads "Closed" usually has a milestone of Withdrawn — an application that was never completed, not a licence that lapsed. Read by milestone, the register currently shows 62 Active, 28 waiting for renewal, 81 Expired and 305 Withdrawn. Our lookup reads the milestone, because that is the column that tells the truth about whether a licence ever existed.
Not necessarily. 'Closed' status with a 'Withdrawn' milestone means the application was never completed — there was no licence to lapse. Only milestone 'Expired' means a real licence ran out.
The register carries both a licence-holder name and a property-owner name, and they are often written differently — one as FIRST LAST, the other surname-first. Our lookup searches both columns so half of Orlando's holders don't appear to be missing.
Yes. The city publishes the register as open data — holder name, status and address are all part of the public record. Our lookup reads that same source and links each line back to it so you can confirm every row with the city rather than trusting us.
Type any part of it. The lookup matches on fragments, so a surname or one distinctive word from the company name is enough. Licences are often held under an LLC or a co-owner rather than the name you use day to day, so it's worth trying a few.
Neither. There is no signup, no card and nothing to install. You type a name and read the result.
No. BondPermit is an information service, not a law firm and not the city. We show you the public record and link to the city's own page for each entry; decisions about your properties should be confirmed with the issuing authority.
If you hold property outside Orlando, the lookup also reads New Orleans, Chicago, Cambridge and Marin County — search a name free, no signup.
We also build Glint, a read-only scanner for Shopify and Stripe stores that surfaces duplicate plans and coupons that never stopped discounting. Different problem, same principle as this page: show the record, cite it, let you verify it. First scan free.
