About doing business in Tallahassee

The City of Tallahassee doesn't require or issue business or occupational licenses, though county, state or federal agencies may require one for your work. Florida businesses still register with the Department of Revenue to collect sales tax, and commercial locations need to fit the zoning.

Permits are split by location. Inside city limits, the City's Growth Management department handles building and sub-trade permits. Outside, Leon County Development Services does. A shared Tallahassee-Leon County permit portal points you to the right one.
