I haven't started selling soap yet, but when i called my local zoning office (in pinellas county) they told me I need to go to the tax office and request one, and if I plan on naming what I sell, then I also need to file a ficticious name with them. I don't remember what the cost was, but the reason I forgot is because it wasn't much and I wasn't worried about it. Sorry i can't help more, but hope it does a little.
ETA: I just realized I need to clarify part of that. When I called my local zoning office, they told me to go to the tax office and request one. I asked if I was allowed to make soap from my home and sell it to the public. They took my address, and called me back saying that as long as no customers ever step foot on my property and I am not actually selling anything in my home, then I am free and clear to do what i want. When I called the tax office, they are the ones who told me the price (which was low and I can't recall) and that if I named my soap, then I need to also file a fictious name with them.
Having a day to recall the phone calls helped me remember the details better.

In AZ I had to go to the tax office and get a transaction privilege tax license and I think my EIN # (from irs.gov)... I can't remember if I needed the EIN for the TPT license or just for the business license, but it cost like $22 or something.
sweet that sounds like its within my budget

Just for clarification... the TPT license was $22, the EIN # was free
just thought id toss this in
as a person who lives in florida and has operated an llc in florida
if memory servs well
all a person should need is a busines license about 22bucks and your tax id# which is free and can be applied for online
an EIN, if my memory works right, is need if employing
since it is your emploier id number, maybe the same as your tax id
not sure there
but on the ficticious name, that is to protect your product name so no one else can use it

You need the EIN even if you're not employing anyone.... since I had to get one and I'm not employing anyone as of now.
