The county

Where would a Citrus County vendor drive?

Citrus has just two cities: Inverness, the county seat, with 7,796 residents in the Census Bureau's 2025 estimate, and Crystal River, with 3,618. The other 93% of the county's 171,666 residents live in unincorporated communities such as Homosassa Springs, Beverly Hills and Citrus Springs.

Citrus County borders four other counties in 1Stop's region: Hernando, Levy, Marion and Sumter. The application takes every Florida county you will drive to, so list them all.

Local considerations

Four storms in two seasons

Citrus was designated for FEMA Individual Assistance after four hurricanes across the 2023 and 2024 seasons: Hurricane Idalia (2023), Hurricane Debby (2024), Hurricane Helene (2024) and Hurricane Milton (2024). On the Gulf coast, a property's evacuation zone is worth knowing before June 1, and Florida's Know Your Zone page looks it up by address.

Getting set up

What does a vendor need to work in Citrus County?

Citrus County levies a local business tax, collected by its tax collector. A state-licensed business shows the license first (section 205.194).

A contractor the state licenses through DBPR that has paid the business tax where its business is based owes no other city or county a business tax for temporary work there (section 205.065).

Building permits for unincorporated Citrus County go through the county's Building Division. An address inside city limits goes to that city's building department instead.

A registered contractor can work only where its registration applies, so for work here it has to cover Citrus County; a certified one works anywhere in Florida. 1Stop holds the license on file in the licensed trades, with a certificate of insurance and a W-9 for everyone.

Lawn watering is limited to one day a week, set by the last digit of the address, and the district tells residents to check their city or county first, since many set their own day and hours.
