By act of the Florida Legislature Local Occupational Licenses
are now called Local Business Tax Receipts.
The Tax Collector is contracted by the Board of County Commissioners
to collect the Local Business Tax. The tax is collected for
the privilege of operating a business anywhere in the county,
including municipalities. Anyone providing merchandise or
services to the public, even a one-person company or home-based
business must pay the Local Business Tax.
