following items when you are ready to apply.

Occupational License).

- A parking diagram unless you are in a shopping center. (If you
are in a strip mall, a parking diagram is required.)

can be found on your tax bill. You can also call the Property

- Garbage Pick-up. Lee County Ordinance 95-19 requires that
written proof of garbage collection be presented prior to being
