As the first block of the Port Gellhorn boardwalk reopens, Kelly County is making it easier to set up a stand and to host visitors. Short-term rental registration and boardwalk vendor permits are now online.
Two new online services
- Short-term rental registration: free, checked by the tax collector, valid twelve months
- Boardwalk vendor permit for a food cart, a crafts table, bait and tackle or a live music spot: issued at once, from $25 to $120 a season
- Fees and the monthly tourist tax returns are settled at the Tourist Tax Office on Wharf Row
Registered hosts get their certificate in My Leonida, with a QR code: post it inside the front door, where guests can see it.
The Kelly County Police are also recruiting officers and dispatchers for the gulf coast, and the county’s new contact page lists every office and online service.
