The county

Where would a Pinellas County vendor drive?

Clearwater is the county seat, with 114,364 residents in the Census Bureau's 2025 estimate, but St. Petersburg is the largest city, with 264,033. Pinellas County has 24 incorporated cities and towns; among the larger are Largo, with 80,690, and Pinellas Park, with 52,295.

That leaves 28% of the county's 948,563 residents outside any city, so many Pinellas County addresses answer to the county rather than a town. The county shrank 1.1% between 2020 and 2025.

Pinellas County borders two other counties in 1Stop's region: Hillsborough and Pasco. 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 Pinellas County?

Pinellas County no longer levies a county business tax. The county commission repealed the county occupational license requirement by a resolution passed July 25, 1995. 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 Pinellas County go through the county's Building and Development Review Services Department. It also serves six partner communities.

A registered contractor can work only where its registration applies, so for work here it has to cover Pinellas 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.

When can a lawn be watered in Pinellas County?

Pinellas County's fertilizer ordinance bars fertilizer containing nitrogen or phosphorus from June 1 through September 30.

Granular fertilizer with nitrogen has to be at least 50% slow-release, and fertilizer stays 10 feet from the top of the bank of any surface water, the landward edge of a seawall or a designated wetland.

The Southwest Florida Water Management District has extended its Modified Phase III water shortage restrictions through March 31, 2027, and they cover all of Pinellas County. 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.
