This dataset contains approved or acknowledged mobile home parks (MHP) and owners. Chapter 723, Florida Statutes, defines a mobile home as a residential structure, transportable in one or more sections, which is 8 body feet or more in width, over 35 body feet in length with the hitch, built on an integral chassis, designed to be used as a dwelling when connected to the required utilities, and not originally sold as a recreational vehicle, and includes the plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electrical systems contained therein. Terminated, rejected, or withdrawn projects are not included. This dataset contains fields denoting the physical address and contact information for mobile home parks based on 2019 data obtained from http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/.
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Department of Business and Professional Regulation is the agency charged with licensing and regulating businesses and professionals in the State of Florida, such as cosmetologists, veterinarians, real estate agents and pari- mutuel wagering facilities. Their mission is to license efficiently, regulate fairly, and we strive to meet this goal in our day-to-day operation. The Department is under the executive branch of the Governor and is governed by Chapter 120, F.S. The Department is structured according to the requirements of Section 20.165, F.S. ******************************************************************************** Please Note: The following point data represents only Geocoded features, most of which HAVE NOT been validated via QAQC methods such as aerials or Google Street View. ******************************************************************************** What is Geocoding? Geocoding is term used to describe the act of address matching. Geocoding is the process of finding a geographic location (x, y point) for an address (such as street number and name, city, state, and ZIP Code) on a map. Geocoding is based off the typical address scheme for the US, in which one side of the street contains even house numbers while the other side of the street contains odd house numbers. The geocoding process uses an algorithm to find the geographic location of addresses. First, a street segment is identified using the zip code and street name. Next, the geographic location of the address is matched using the building number to determine how far down the street and on which side of the street the building is located. Geocoding Accuracy The locational accuracy of geocoded addresses may vary from urban to rural areas due to the algorithm used to generate the geographic locations of addresses. The algorithm assumes that the size of parcels are equivalent along a road route. This assumption tends to be more consistent in urban areas, where the size of parcels vary less than in rural areas. Consequently, the results of geocoded addresses in urban areas are usually more reliable than those in rural areas. For example, the locational accuracy of rural addresses can be slightly off because some parcels along a rural route may be 15 acres while others may be 2.5 acres, but the geocoding algorithm assumes that the addresses are distributed evenly along the route. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
publication date
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) is required to make available for inspection and copying any public record regardless of physical format, which is not otherwise exempted from public access by general law. To fulfill this obligation, the DBPR provides copies of electronic records to the public through free download. DBPR is only required to provide data in the format in which it is maintained and, as a result, does not provide paper copies of this information. In addition, the DBPR is not required to reformat its records to meet a requestor's particular needs. Section 119.01(2)(b), F.S., requires only that the agency provide electronic data in some common format such as, but not limited to, the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) text format. As, the download files provided by DBPR are formatted as ASCII text, quote/comma delimited. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spatial and Attribute Information
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile home locations and information were obtained from the online MyFloridaLicense site on April 16, 2019 from: http://www.myfloridalicense.com/DBPR/condos-timeshares-mobile-homes/public-records/ GeoPlan downloaded this data in text file format and converted it to a geodatabase table. The geodatabase table was then geocoded using a Business Analyst 2018 composite address locator. This process created a shapefile which was projected into the FGDL Albers map projection. The original dataset contained 2308 records. All records were geocoded using one of five address locators: There were 111 records that were geocoded by either the AdminPlaces or Postal locators and were therefore excluded from the final layer due to insufficient accuracy. Of the remaining 1197 records, 1680 were geocoded by the PointAddress locator, 437 by the StreetAddress locator, and 80 by the StreetName locator. Fields from the original table were renamed or removed as follows: Project Number > PRJ_NUMBER File Number > FILE_NUMBR MH Name > NAME County > COUNTY Street > ADDRESS City > CITY State > Removed Zip > ZIPCODE Lots > LOTS Approval Date > APPDATE Primary Status > PRISTATUS Secondary Status > SECSTATUS Owner Number > ONUMBER Owner Name > Removed Owner Route > OROUTE Owner Street > Removed Owner City > Removed Owner State > Removed Owner Zip > Removed New fields were added as follows: - PARCELID and OWNER fields were not added because mobile home park locations were not verified to be located in parcels. - NOTES field added to provide information about the geocoding result. It first describes the geocoding program, then the address locator used, then the match score, then the match address that placed the record in space. - LAT_DD, LONG_DD, MGRS, and GOOGLEMAP fields were added and calculated. - DESCRIPT field added based on NAME. - FLAG field added. Spatial accuracy of individual records was not evaluated after geocoding. All records were flagged as NV (Not Verified). See FLAG field definition for more details. - UPDATE_DAY field added based on when the data was updated. - FGDLAQDATE added based on the date GeoPlan acquired the data from the source. - Fields were organized and optimized to fit GeoPlan standards.

A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.
