Property owners operating in the area must instead comply with state-level regulations. This includes obtaining a license from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), establishing a Duval County tourist tax account, and securing a business tax receipt. Prospective owners are encouraged to verify zoning codes with the Planning and Development Department to ensure compliance with local land-use policies.
