Obtaining a Business Tax Receipt
A Business Tax Receipt (formerly known as an Occupational License), is required for any business
performing services or selling goods, advertising goods for sale, or advertising the
performance of services for a fee. A separate Business Tax Receipt is
required for each place of business.
Please note that a Business Tax Receipt must be
obtained BEFORE the business begins operation. If you operate a business
prior to obtaining the Business Tax Receipt, you are subject to a penalty
as provided by
City
Code.
All
businesses must meet additional requirements, which
include compliance with zoning codes and inspections through the
Code
Enforcement Division.
Application Process
We suggest that you
begin the application process by reviewing all of the information on
the page that describes required steps to obtain a
Business Tax Receipt
with the City of Melbourne.
You will then be able to determine which application process is required for your type of
business, and you will be directed to the appropriate
"Applicant Information & Instructions" page.
