Can I offer contests that involve entry fees in Florida? What are the requirements?
Based on the documents provided, it appears that contests involving entry fees are not specifically addressed. However, certain types of contests may be subject to additional regulations or restrictions. For example, auctions conducted in Florida must comply with specific requirements, including the requirement that the principal auctioneer be a licensed Florida auctioneer or apprentice, and that the auction business be licensed in Florida [2.1]. Additionally, fair associations in Florida must obtain a permit from the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to hold an annual public fair, and central amusement companies contracting with such fair associations must obtain a tax exemption certificate [4.1].
It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure that any contests you plan to offer comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those related to auctions and fairs.
