About each permit

Pasco County Business Tax Receipt

The Pasco County Tax Collector's page states that Business Tax Receipts (formerly occupational licenses) are required for most businesses operating in Pasco County, and that some businesses regulated by the state are exempt. A receipt is valid through September 30 and expires October 1; a new account opened before July 1 must be renewed for the next year, and fees are not pro-rated. The same page states that all cities in Pasco County require a city Business Tax Receipt for a business inside their boundaries, and that some cities require the county receipt first, so a business in Dade City, New Port Richey, Port Richey, San Antonio, St. Leo or Zephyrhills holds both. The application asks for a copy of any state, county or other regulatory license that applies, and the Tax Collector lists no-fee receipts for qualifying senior, disabled, veteran and widowed sole proprietors.

Small Quantity Generator (Hazardous Waste) Assessment

The Tax Collector's Business Tax Receipt page states that the Board of County Commissioners of Pasco County, as authorized by Florida law, has imposed an additional fee of $20.00 on the Business Tax Receipt of small quantity generators and potential generators of hazardous waste, and that the fee is included in the amount shown on the receipt. The page says the assessment pays for a state-mandated program of workshops, inspections and other help with identifying, managing and disposing of hazardous waste. Questions go to the Pasco County Solid Waste Department, Small Quantity Generator Program, at (727) 847-8041, (813) 996-7341 ext. 8041 or (352) 521-4274 ext. 8041.
