Sarasota County's Tax Collector states that the County Business Tax was repealed July 9, 2024 and is no longer collected. Local business tax receipts may still apply inside City of Sarasota, Venice, North Port or Town of Longboat Key limits; check with the specific municipality. A business may also need zoning, building, fire, occupancy or state professional approvals based on its site and activity. Verify current municipal requirements directly; this article does not quote fees or promise approval.
