About doing business in Lakeland

Lakeland sits in Polk County between Tampa and Orlando, and it lives up to its name: the City counts 38 named lakes inside its limits. Florida Southern College, on Lake Hollingsworth, has the largest single-site collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in the world, and Publix is headquartered here.

Inland Lakeland is different from the coast: more lawn and landscape work, A/C that runs hard in the summer heat, and plenty of moves between Tampa and Orlando. Inside city limits you need both a City of Lakeland and a Polk County business tax receipt.
