The Port Orange setup
Every business in Port Orange needs a City Business Tax Receipt, even with a state license. In most cases the state license comes first, and applications go through the City's SmartGov portal. Volusia County repealed its own receipt countywide effective January 1, 2024, so the City receipt is the local one.
For permits, state-registered and local specialty contractors go through Volusia County Contractor Licensing. State-certified contractors can opt out, but then bring their license, tax receipts and insurance with each permit application.
Port Orange trades
- Roofing A certified roofer who skips Volusia's licensing program still owes Port Orange proof of insurance on every permit. Say which route you use.
- Pest control Port Orange expects the state license before the City receipt, so your FDACS pest license should come first, and show on your site.
- Auto repair The City lists motor vehicle repair shops among state-regulated businesses. Put your FDACS registration number on the site.
- Handyman Home-based applicants show proof of residency. List the small jobs you take and refer licensed work out.
