Running a trade in Lake Wales
Lake Wales businesses need two receipts: the City's and Polk County's. The City's requirements sheet asks for a copy of your Polk County receipt, along with your lease, federal EIN, fictitious name registration and any DBPR or FDACS license, before it will process an application.
The application is routed for sign-off. Planning and Zoning, Fire, Building and Utilities each review it, and the Fire Department requires an inspection you schedule by phone.
Home-based businesses aren't exempt from review. The application asks applicants to confirm they received the City's home occupation regulations, so read them before listing a home address.
The receipt doesn't move with you. A change of owner, business name or address needs a new transfer application. The City's documents differ slightly on the renewal deadline, one saying before September 30 and another before October 1, so renew in September to be safe.
