TAXES

The state of Florida does not impose a personal income tax. Property taxes fall under the Homestead Exemption Provision. Occupational license fees are collected from most businesses, professionals, and enterprises. The state sales tax is six percent. In addition to the county tax structure, each municipality may also levy taxes and require occupational fees and licenses.

OCCUPATIONAL LICENSES

Procedures for obtaining an occupational license in the county differ according to location and type of business. Locations within the corporate limits of Ponte Vedra Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach Beach, and Hastings must first get a license from that city. That license is then taken to the St. Johns County Tax Collectors office, where the county license will be issued. Call 209-2250. County Zoning at (904) 823-2470. If it is located in Ponte Vedra Beach City limits, Ponte Vedra Beach Beach City limits, or the town of Hastings limits, contact the appropriate office needed, according to business location, for zoning approval and occupational license. Ponte Vedra Beach, (904) 825-1065; Beach Hastings, (904) 692-1420. Locations outside the three corporate limits must receive approval from the County Zoning Department located in the County Administrative building on Lewis Speedway. Professional and state regulated businesses must first obtain a state license, while contractors must obtain a county authorized license from the Building Dept., 823-2470. http://www.co.st-johns.fl.us/Const-Officers/Tax-Collector/occupational1.html

SMALL BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
