A 2009 county ordinance requires home and business owners with alarm systems to register them (free) with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office SHARP program. It covers unincorporated Pinellas plus the 13 cities that contract with PCSO for law enforcement. False alarm fines escalate, and unregistered alarms are fined from the first false alarm.
Unlike most Florida counties, Pinellas County does NOT require a county-level local business tax receipt. The Board of County Commissioners repealed the county occupational license requirement by resolution on July 25, 1995 (Ordinance No. 95-53). Businesses in unincorporated Pinellas need no county business license; businesses inside a municipality may still need a CITY business tax receipt.
