If I have a Local Business Tax Receipt and move to a new location, change business name or ownership, do I need a new Local Business Tax Receipt?

Yes. You must submit a new application anytime you make one of the above changes.

All local business tax receipts may be transferred to a new owner when there is a bona fide sale of the business upon payment of a transfer fee of 10% of the annual business tax, not less than $3 or more than $25, (205.033(2), Florida Statutes) and presentation of evidence of the sale and the original receipt. Upon written request and presentation of the original receipt, any receipt may be transferred from one location to another within the village upon payment of transfer fee of ten % of the annual local business tax not less than $3 or more than $25.
