tangible personal property?

[ahha]

I recently went to my tax office to apply for homestead exemption. I inadvertently said I was starting a vending machine business.  (BULK CANDY) and he informed me they had a meeting stating that I would have to pay tax on each machine etc etc .

Now when I applied for a business license in my city she mentioned that it was not required.

So I am wondering. Are these considered tangible personal property? And does the county impose different practices than the city you are operating in?

When I was looking at the info it was confusing and kept mentioning all of the stuff that a storefront owner would own associated with their business.

So this doesnt make sense to me as I cant list 500 different locations of 50 dollar machines. Are they serious?

He also did mention that soon the first $25 grand of property you own will be tax free.  Anyone have any experience in this?

BTW in case you want to know I am in St Petersburg Florida ... PINELLAS COUNTY

I would ask Rob Patterson at Kick Start Vending.  He lives in Florida.  He can help you out.
