Getting set up

What does a vendor need to work in St. Lucie County?

St. Lucie 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. Lucie County go through the county's Building Inspections office.

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