The county
Where would a Pasco County vendor drive?
Dade City is the county seat, with 10,173 residents in the Census Bureau's 2025 estimate, but it is not the largest place: Zephyrhills has 22,447 and New Port Richey 18,299. Pasco County has six incorporated places in all, including the town of St. Leo.
That leaves 91% of the county's 674,516 residents outside any city, so most Pasco County addresses answer to the county rather than a town. The county grew 20.0% between 2020 and 2025.
Pasco County borders five other counties in 1Stop's region: Hernando, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk and Sumter. The application takes every Florida county you will drive to, so list them all.
For roofing and restoration crews: FEMA designated Pasco County for Individual Assistance after Hurricane Ian (2022), Hurricane Idalia (2023), Hurricane Helene (2024) and Hurricane Milton (2024).

Local considerations
A county certificate of competency
Pasco County's Building Construction Services lets a contractor either register a state certified license or apply for a County Certificate of Competency card. The county's page does not say which trades need the county card.
Getting set up
What does a vendor need to work in Pasco County?
Pasco 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 Pasco County go through the county's Building Construction Services Department.
A registered contractor can work only where its registration applies, so for work here it has to cover Pasco 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.
