What each column means
trade and state locate the record; authority_url points to the regulator; license_types is a nested list containing license name, scope, and fee facts; each fee may identify its type, amount, application, source, and verification status; jurisdiction, local_note, confidence, and verified explain where and how the record applies.
Download
CSV · JSON. CSV stores nested values as JSON text in cells; JSON preserves the nested structure. These are the implemented REST exports for the licenses dataset.
How the records were collected
Research started with government licensing boards, secretaries of state, federal agencies, and the sources identified in each record. The verification log dated September 24, 2026 records 267 confirmed fee checks and 5 confirmed jurisdiction checks. A check compares the stored claim with an official page, rule, statute, or official board publication and keeps the evidence URL. Those counts cover the verification log across the project, not every field in this particular download. Commercial price observations are labeled as market estimates.
Check the source link and verification date before relying on a record. Government pages and fees can change between checks. An empty value means the research does not support a usable amount; it should not be read as zero.
Limitations
The licensing collection covers 15 states so far (100 trade-state records), and coverage varies by trade. A single record can include initial, renewal, late, alternative entity, and other fees. They are not necessarily cumulative. Check the board’s current fee schedule and your exact license type.
CSV is a convenience export, not a flat one-row-per-fee table. Open the JSON when you need nested fee evidence or the complete source context. For a decision, confirm that the source date, jurisdiction, and license class match your situation.
Reuse and citation
Free to cite with attribution. Suggested citation: “Trade Business Guide, Trade license fees, accessed [your access date].” Link to this dataset page and, where practical, to the original authority. A citation does not transfer responsibility for checking current rules.
