I've had groups that rented and held sales in <br />hotel conference centers, but never in an individual room, We probably would NOT allow it based on zoning and <br />use regulations. The actual hotel room is zoned for transient occupancy, not for any other type of use, such as <br />commercial or merchant. Setting up and buying coins would be a commercial use. Most hotels do have ancillary <br />uses within, such as spas, retail stores, restaurants.etc, but setting up in a dwelling unit for this type of business <br />would not be considered an ancillary use. <br /> <br />The following link is to the Attorney General website and is a warning about fraudulent coin dealers. I haven't yet <br />found any agency that licenses them. I would think there are some regulations, such as for pawn shops, but I've <br />not found any. I would definitely get all of the dealers information, and if a corporation or fictitious name, require a <br />Florida registration with the Division of Corporations, FEIN # or social security #, identification, etc. Even if not a <br />permanent city business, I would categorize them under our "Old gold and precious metals dealer" classification, <br />which the fee is $200.00. <br /> <br />Hope this helped and I'll send along any other information that I find. <br /> <br />http://myfloridalegal.com/pages.nsf/main/f2518fbd4a06d27685256cc9005e1 bb2!OpenDocument <br /> <br />Linda Prell <br />Business Tax/CRS Administrator <br />City of St Pete Beach <br />155 Corey Avenue <br />St Pete Beach, FL 33706 <br />(727) 363-9242 <br />(727) 363-9222 Fax <br />Iprell@stpetebeach.org <br />www.stpetebeach.org <br /> <br />From: Bobbie Swetland [mailto:bswetland@ci.zephyrhills,f1,us] <br />Sent: Monday, February 25, 20089:40 AM <br />To: Linda Prell <br />Subject: Need help <br /> <br />Good morning Lady, <br /> <br />Have you ever dealt with people wanting to set-up in a hotel <br />room & advertise to the public to bring in their coins & they <br />would give them cash on the spot? I've never had an inquiry <br /> <br />2/25/2008 <br />
