Do I need a business license just to mow lawns in Florida?

I'm 19 and I just want to mow like 10 lawns a week for some extra cash, I don't want to make a business or anything serious. Do I need a business license for just mowing and if so about how much does it cost? And is there anything else that i have to do or get? Thanks!

1. no you don't need a license, but if you operate as DBA then you will need one. a DBA just means you are doing business as another name. for instance if your name is bill and you are calling your self bill's mowing service then you will not need a license if you call your self the lawn mower expert, then you will need one. see the difference. if you use your own name in the title you won't need one but any thing else you will
2. not required, but if you are successful at it.. you may may to organize it as a real-live business...
