Most businesses need a Pasco County Business Tax Receipt, and every incorporated city in Pasco County requires its own city Business Tax Receipt for businesses operating within its boundaries. Some cities require the county receipt before issuing their city receipt. State-regulated businesses may be exempt from the county receipt, and state/professional licenses are separate. Confirm the exact location and activity with the County Tax Collector and municipality.
