BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 205.0535, Florida Statutes, the City Commission, at its
regularly scheduled meeting on March 7, 1995, appointed an Equity Study Commission,
composed of five (5) representatives from the business community of the City of Ocoee to
review the occupational license rate structure and classification system. On March 25, 1995, the
Equity Study Commission recommended that the City Commission approve numerous revisions
to the classification system and rate structure for occupational license taxes and Chapter 119 of
the Code of Ordinances. These revisions were adopted by the City Commission on August 15,
1995.
City of Ocoee Code of Ordinances Section 119-7(A) states: The rates of the occupational license
tax...may, every other year after adoption of this chapter, increase by a percentage not to exceed
the lesser of five percent (5%) or the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index, or its
successor index, during the two (2) calendar years prior to the year in which the proposed
increase will become effective.
City of Ocoee Code of Ordinances Section 119-7(B) in part states: At the first regularly
scheduled meeting in March 1997, and every other year thereafter, the City Manager or the
Manager's designee shall present a report to the City Commission which sets forth the total
licenses by classification and the total occupational license tax fees for the prior fiscal year and
contains a recommendation for increases, if any, to the rates for the occupational license tax then
established by this chapter.
The total number of licenses for Fiscal Year 2001-02 was 1567. The total revenue collected for
Fiscal Year 2001-02 was $361,469.80.
