Tamarac business license: do you need a business tax receipt?
Tamarac has about 75,000 residents and is in northwest-central Broward County, between Coral Springs, Sunrise, North Lauderdale and Lauderhill. Whether you form an LLC, a corporation or a PLLC, Tamarac's Business Revenue office has separate paths for commercial and home businesses. A commercial location uses the Commercial Business Tax Receipt Application, which requires an approved Certificate of Use and a Safety Permit or Certificate of Occupancy. A home business uses the Residential application and completes the city's home inspection checklist. Submit the completed application with the fee and any documents specific to your type of business, and call Business Revenue at (954) 597-3537 with questions. The order is fixed. After the City of Tamarac issues your receipt, you take it to the Broward County Tax Collector for the county Business Tax Receipt.

Tamarac business license FAQs
Do I need a Tamarac business license (business tax receipt)?
Yes. Tamarac requires a city Business Tax Receipt first, then a Broward County receipt.
Is a Tamarac 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).
How much does it cost to form a business in Tamarac?
Sunbiz state fees are the same anywhere in Florida: $125 for an LLC or PLLC and $70 for a corporation. Local business tax receipts are separate.
Which county is Tamarac in?
Broward County.
Should my Tamarac business be an LLC, a corporation or a PLLC?
Most small businesses choose an LLC for its simple management and pass-through taxes. A corporation suits owners who plan to issue stock or bring in investors. A PLLC is for state-licensed professionals such as doctors, lawyers and CPAs. All three file with Sunbiz: $125 for an LLC or PLLC and $70 for a corporation.
