GLOSSARY
Townhouse
A townhouse is a dwelling that shares one or more walls with its neighbours and has its own entrance at ground level. In the records we hold the term covers new units and the work recorded against a single unit.
Detail
About Townhouse
Townhouse drawings show the unit plan, the party wall between units, the roof over each unit and the separation that keeps one unit's construction independent of the next. Scope is set by whether the work stays inside one unit or touches the shared wall and roof, since a shared element involves more than one owner. The term travels with headings such as irrigation, garage and lanai on records for a whole development.
FLORIDA PERMIT DATA
In the records
"townhouse" appears in 21,287 matching permits in the Florida records we analyzed.
A permit can match more than one term, so these counts are not additive and adding two of them together overstates the total.
