A Going Out of Business/Fire Sale Permit, required by Florida law, allows sales for up to 60 days and requires an application, inventory, $50 fee, proof of tax payments, and advertisement copies.
A Going Out of Business / Fire Sale Permit must be obtained whenever a business organizes a sale of goods that causes the public to believe that operations will end when all goods are sold.

A fee of $50 in certified funds or cash only
Proof that all real estate and personal property taxes are paid
