About doing business in Jacksonville
Jacksonville businesses get a Local Business Tax Receipt from the Duval County Tax Collector, including home-based and one-person businesses. Businesses in Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach or Baldwin also need that city's own receipt.
New or expanding commercial businesses in Jacksonville need a Certificate of Use, a review by zoning, fire and building officials. The City's advice is to check zoning first, then get the tax receipt, then apply for the Certificate of Use. Home-based businesses are exempt from the Certificate of Use under state law.
