Adding every fee on the page together would overstate what most operators pay, because it would include permits they never need.

What does a auto repair shop need in Osceola County Fl that other businesses do not?

1 of the 1 permit particular to a auto repair shop here applies to no other business type we cover in Osceola County Fl: Small-Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator Surcharge.

Small-Quantity Hazardous Waste Generator Surcharge

County Code Sec. 13-50 requires every person identified as a small quantity generator of hazardous wastes to pay an annual surcharge of $20.00 in addition to the local business tax. The county solid waste department periodically gives the Tax Collector the names of those identified as small quantity generators, and the money goes to the solid waste and resource recovery fund to pay for the county's local hazardous waste assessment program and the small quantity generator notification and reporting programs required by F.S. §§403.7234 and 403.7236. An auto repair shop that the county identifies as a small quantity generator pays this $20.00 each year with its $30.00 Local Business Tax Receipt; a shop that is not on that list does not owe the surcharge.

The other 5 local permits in the tables apply to every type of business in Osceola County Fl, FL; what each one involves is set out on the Osceola County Fl permits page. The 6 state-level registrations apply to every type of business across FL and are covered on the FL state page.
