Largo has about 82,000 residents and is in central Pinellas County, between Clearwater, Seminole, Pinellas Park and Belleair Bluffs. Whether you form an LLC, a corporation or a PLLC, there's only one local receipt here, because Pinellas County repealed its county occupational license in 1995.

Create an account, choose Apply, open the Licenses tab, and pick the receipt that matches your SIC classification. Then enter your business location, details and contacts, and upload your Sunbiz registration and any state or county license. City staff review the application and email an invoice. Once your payment goes through, you can print the receipt straight from LCAP. The city posts a step-by-step LCAP guide for new applicants.

Do I need a Largo business license (business tax receipt)?
Yes, inside city limits you need a City of Largo Business Tax Receipt. Pinellas County repealed its county receipt in 1995, so there isn't a county one.
Is a Largo occupational license the same as a business tax receipt?
Yes. Florida law renamed the old occupational license the local business tax in 2006, so a business tax receipt, an occupational license and a local business license all mean the same thing in Florida (Chapter 205, Florida Statutes).
