About each permit
Child Care Facility Licensing — Florida DCF (Osceola County)
Florida DCF's 'About Child Care Licensure' page states that DCF child-care licensing staff are responsible for the inspection and licensure of child-care facilities and homes in 63 of Florida's 67 counties, and that "Four counties have elected to regulate licensing of child-care facilities and homes as provided in §402.306, Florida Statutes. Those counties are Broward, Palm Beach, Pinellas, and Sarasota." Osceola County is not one of the four, so a child care facility in Osceola County, including inside Kissimmee and St. Cloud, is licensed by DCF. The county layers that reach a child care business are the ones that reach any business: the countywide Local Business Tax Receipt and, for premises in unincorporated Osceola County, the Change of Use/Occupancy Permit, building permits and fire inspections recorded separately.
