The county

Where would a Martin County vendor drive?

That leaves 82% of the county's 166,272 residents outside any city, town or village, so most Martin County addresses answer to the county. The county grew 4.9% between 2020 and 2025.

Martin County borders two other counties in 1Stop's region: Okeechobee and St. Lucie. The application takes every Florida county you will drive to, so list them all.

Getting set up

What does a vendor need to work in Martin County?

Martin 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 Martin 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 Martin 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.
