Seasonal homes make up 14.9% of the housing stock. Owners who live elsewhere most of the year hire local businesses they find on the web.

The median home here was built in 1963. Older homes need constant upkeep, and owners search for help when something breaks.

Before you publish: Florida and federal rules

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Florida rules as any other.

• What your website says about prices, results and reviews has to be true; Florida’s Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act applies to online claims too. Section 501.204, Florida Statutes
• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
• Local business tax receipts in Florida can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Pinellas County and Gulfport. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
• Florida’s state sales tax is 6%, and Pinellas County adds a 1.0% surtax in 2026, for 7.0% on most taxable sales. DR-15DSS (2026)

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
