About each permit
County Business Tax — Repeal Statement (Tax Collector and Ord. No. 2024-048)
The Sarasota County Tax Collector's page, titled County Business Tax Repealed, states: “The Sarasota County Board of County Commissioners voted to repeal the County Business Tax July 9, 2024; therefore, the County Business Tax will no longer be collected.” The County Code agrees: the editor's note to Chapter 114, Article IV records that Ord. No. 2024-048, s. 2, adopted July 9, 2024, amended the article in its entirety, and the former business tax sections are now marked reserved. The same Tax Collector page notes that the tax on attorneys falls under a special act and funds the Law Library, so that tax continues. For a business inside a city or town, the page states that “Businesses located within city limits may be required to pay the business tax in the local municipality: Longboat Key, North Port, Sarasota, or Venice.” A business in one of those four municipalities applies to that city or town for its business tax receipt.
