Estero Local Business Tax Approval Process

Local Business Tax Licenses are issued directly by Lee County. However, if your business or residence (for home-based occupations) is located within Estero, the Village of Estero must review and approve your application before you submit it to the county.

Follow these four steps to secure your license:

  • Step 1: Complete the application
    Fill out the official Lee County Local Business Tax form.
  • Step 2: Submit to Estero for review
    Email your completed form as a PDF to Devanas@estero-fl.gov.
  • Step 3: Receive zoning validation
    The Village of Estero will review your application and return it to you with an official zoning validation added to the bottom of the first page.
  • Step 4: File with Lee County
    Send or physically take your validated application to the Lee County Tax Collector to finalize your license.

THE LEE COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR ISSUES THE TAX RECEIPT.
