Hunters must also pay a fee to the owner of commercial shooting preserves for the privilege of hunting game. There are many special seasons, legal methods, bag limits, requirements and regulations that affect hunters in Florida. Consult the latest edition of the Hunting Handbook Regulations Summary available from Tax Collector offices, 355-2622, and subagents. All annual privileges expire 12 months from the date issued. The Tax Collector has a contract with the Board of County Commissioners to issue occupational licenses for the privilege of operating a business anywhere in the county, including municipalities.
Some businesses also are subject to county zoning codes and state regulations.
Occupational licenses expire September 30 and can be renewed on or after August 1. On October 1, they are delinquent and subject to penalties each month thereafter. New licenses are issued at any time during the year and are prorated April 1, at which time half-year fees apply. Any change made in a license status, such as an address, ownership, or name change, must be reported to the Tax Collector s Office. Public access to information about new businesses is required by law.
