About doing business in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale is known as the Venice of America, and the City counts 165 miles of waterways within its limits. It also hosts the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show each fall, which shows how big boating is to the local economy.
Most Fort Lauderdale businesses need both a City and a Broward County business tax receipt, and the City now requires new businesses to get a Certificate of Use first. Broward is also in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which shapes how windows, doors and roofs are built.
