County Business Tax Repealed

The Sarasota County Board of County Commissioners voted to repeal the County Business Tax July 9, 2024; therefore, the County Business Tax will no longer be collected.

Please note that since the tax on attorneys falls under a special act and funds the Law Library, that tax will continue.

​Businesses Located in a Municipality - Businesses located within city limits may be required to pay the business tax in the local municipality: Longboat Key, North Port, Sarasota, or Venice.
