What does a vendor need to work in Franklin County?
Franklin County levies no county business tax, by its own account. A city inside the county can still levy its own, under section 205.042 of the Florida Statutes.
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 Franklin County go through the county's Building Department.
A registered contractor can work only where its registration applies, so for work here it has to cover Franklin 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.
