The county
Where would a St. Johns County vendor drive?
St. Augustine is the county seat and the largest of St. Johns County's three incorporated places, with 16,141 residents in the Census Bureau's 2025 estimate. St. Augustine Beach has 6,810.
That leaves 93% of the county's 346,328 residents outside any city or town, so most St. Johns County addresses answer to the county rather than a town. The county grew 26.7% between 2020 and 2025.
St. Johns County borders four other counties in 1Stop's region: Clay, Duval, Flagler and Putnam. The application takes every Florida county you will drive to, so list them all.
For roofing and restoration crews: FEMA designated St. Johns County for Individual Assistance after Hurricane Ian (2022), Hurricane Nicole (2022) and Hurricane Milton (2024).
Lawn watering there follows the St. Johns River Water Management District.

Getting set up
What does a vendor need to work in St. Johns County?
St. Johns 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 St. Johns 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 St. Johns 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.
