Running a trade in Edgewater

Edgewater requires a City business tax receipt and a Certificate of Use for each location. Volusia County repealed its countywide receipt effective January 1, 2024, so there's no county receipt.

The Certificate of Use costs $31.50 for a residential location and $52.50 for a commercial one. Renewals are $20 and $31.50. Home approvals take about 48 hours, while commercial locations take two to three weeks.

Home businesses are limited to office, phone or mobile work, with rules on signs, equipment storage and vehicles. Employees who aren't family members disqualify a home business. The owner signs a notarized affidavit, and City Hall notarizes it free.

Alarm systems must be registered with the City within 30 days of installation. Registration is free in that window and $50 after. Business signs need a sign permit.

Pick the right setup before you file. A mobile pressure washer, handyman or pool tech working from a home office can usually qualify as a home business. A shop with a showroom, staff or stored equipment needs a commercial location and the longer review. Either way, keep your receipt and Certificate of Use current and show your DBPR license on your website.
