Florida members quick question License Needed?

**Djboy26** · 12-08-2011, 08:39 PM

is there a occupational license needed for Mobile detailing and what category do you list it under?

from what i`ve seen there is no category for it and the web site said that not all businesses need a license to run in Florida i don`t know if this right just need to know before i try to apply for something that is not needed.

I`m not in Florida but many laws are similar to Ohio. You may need a vendors license to collect sales tax. There isn`t a specific choice for it but it falled under car wash. I don`t like it because it places you under "car washes" like the local spray and wash. Maybe Garry Dean will chime in on your question. This is what I have experienced in Ohio which has similar laws to Florida.

I ve already filed my license and now I`m listed as a car wash which is what I am not. This is because there is no specific for detailing. The problem arises with the city making sure you are compliant at the address listed. It cost me 12k this year alone. I do mostly corrections and not washes.
