More questions about Brevard County: It seems whatever office I go I get different answers…
Question #1: if I want to sell homemade baked goodies at farmers market venues under Cottage Law, do I still need a Food Permit? This is what a FM’s manager replied: “you must (1)have a food permit, (2) prepare the foods in a facility that meets certain state and federal standards and (3) have a certified Food Protection Manager. Mobil Food Vendors can expect to pay a $275 annual fee for their food permit”. So, do I need all that just to sell Cottage Law Food?

Question #2: My city says that I need a Business Sales Tax Receipt from My City ($25 application + $125 annual fee) and another one from My County ($37 annual fee). What if I am not going to sell anything within my city? First of all, my city doesn’t even offer a decent farmers market venue at all, and second they do not allow any other way/places where sales are allowed. So, if I am not dealing with my city and instead I’m planning to sell in other cities FM’s, what permits/Business Sales Tax Receipts would I need?

Thank you very much in advance.
