The county
Where would a Clay County vendor drive?
Green Cove Springs is the county seat and the largest of Clay County's four incorporated places, with 10,079 residents in the Census Bureau's 2025 estimate. Orange Park has 8,953, Keystone Heights 1,579 and Penney Farms 835.
That leaves 91% of the county's 239,593 residents outside any city or town, so most Clay County addresses answer to the county rather than a town. The county grew 9.8% between 2020 and 2025.
Clay County borders five other counties in 1Stop's region: Baker, Bradford, Duval, Putnam and St. Johns. The application takes every Florida county you will drive to, so list them all.
For roofing and restoration crews: FEMA designated Clay County for Individual Assistance after Hurricane Milton (2024).

Getting set up
What does a vendor need to work in Clay County?
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 Clay County go through the county's Building Division.
A registered contractor can work only where its registration applies, so for work here it has to cover Clay 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.
