Do you know how many registered rental units there are in South Walton (hotels, condos & other short term rentals)?

Is there an easy way to track how the number of rental units has changed over time like the monthly tax collections for South Walton?

Thanks!

Here is contact information for the department at the Clerks office that deals with this, I'm sure they'd be happy to provide any available information.
