Levy County: No County Local Business Tax to Exempt

Section 205.055 exempts an honorably discharged veteran, a spouse or unremarried surviving spouse, and a PCS military spouse from a local business tax; see the Florida entry. In Levy County there is no county tax to exempt. The Code. Chapter 86 of the Levy County Code, "Taxation", carries the discretionary sales surtax, two local option gas taxes, the tourist development tax and the communications services tax, the senior and historic property exemptions and an economic development grant programme, but no local business tax, and no other chapter levies one. The Tax Collector. The Levy County Tax Collector, Michele Langford, lists property taxes, tags and titles, driver licences, concealed weapon licences, hunting and fishing licences, passports and tax deed sales, and no local business tax service; a search of its site for "business tax" finds only the tax certificate sale. A veteran opening a business in unincorporated Levy County should confirm with the Tax Collector (352-486-5172) that no county receipt is required, and rely on the statute if one is. Inside the cities. Chiefland, Williston, Bronson, Cedar Key, Inglis, Yankeetown and the other municipalities may levy their own business tax under chapter 205; where one does, section 205.055 exempts the same people there.
