About doing business in St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg fills the southern end of the Pinellas peninsula, between Tampa Bay and the Gulf. Pinellas County dropped its county business tax in 1995, so inside St. Pete you deal with the City's Business Tax Division, and county-licensed contractors work under the Pinellas County Construction Licensing Board.
Hurricane Helene in September 2024 brought a record storm surge to the St. Petersburg tide gauge, beating the previous record from 1985. Flooding and rebuilding work after that storm is still part of local life for many trades.
