No state license is required. Under Florida Statute 500.80, cottage food operations sell approved non-hazardous homemade foods (up to $250,000/year) with no state permit or inspection. Kissimmee is in Osceola County, and Osceola County generally requires a local Business Tax Receipt to run a home-based business.
Anyone providing merchandise or services, including a sole proprietor or home-based business, must obtain a Local Business Tax Receipt to operate. The annual receipt is $30.00, renewed July 1 through September 30. Short-term (new) receipts are prorated: Oct 1-Mar 31 = $30.00, Apr 1-Jun 30 = $15.00, Jul 1-Sep 30 = $45.00. If your kitchen is inside Kissimmee city limits, also check whether the city requires its own receipt.
Home-based businesses require a Residential Business – Home Occupation Review zoning permit, with a $100.00 zoning review fee, before the Local Business Tax Receipt is issued. Home occupations reviewed through county zoning (Residential Business – Home Occupation Review). Florida's Home-Based Business Act (F.S. 559.955) limits local regulation of home-based businesses and exempts many from a local Certificate of Use.
