Doing Business in Pasco County

Businesses Operating in Pasco County

Most businesses operating in Pasco County are required to file for a Business Tax Receipt (formerly known as Occupational Licenses). You may complete an application at any of the Pasco County Tax Collector offices; request that an application be mailed to you; or download an application from this site. If you are a contractor, you must also register with Contractor Licensing prior to performing any construction work. The Contractor Licensing Section stores and processes information related to contractor licensing such as changes of address, Workers' Compensation, bonds and insurance. It is the contractor's responsibility to ensure that all licensing information on file with Pasco County is current.
