About doing business in Hollywood
Every Hollywood business needs a Local Business Tax Receipt and a Certificate of Use, including home-based businesses. The Certificate of Use confirms your use fits the zoning at that location. It's valid for 180 days, during which you get the tax receipt, and it becomes invalid if the business tax lapses.
Since August 4, 2026, all new building permit applications go through the City's Accela portal. The City also offers express permits for residential A/C replacements, water heaters, re-roofs and electrical service changes. Hollywood is in Broward County, part of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.
Trades that do well in Hollywood
- HVAC Hollywood offers express permits for residential A/C replacements, so homeowners expect quick turnarounds. A site that says you pull the permit and shows your license wins those calls.
- Roofing Residential re-roofs are on the City's express permit list, and Broward roofs must meet High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules. Explaining both on your site builds trust before the estimate.
- Impact windows & shutters Products installed in Broward need HVHZ approvals. A page that names the product approvals you install sets you apart.
- Vacation rental cleaning Residential lodging with two or more units needs a Certificate of Use in Hollywood, so rental owners take their paperwork seriously and look for cleaners who look just as organized online.
- Home inspection Buyers often need wind mitigation and four-point inspections. A site with your DBPR license and a sample report makes booking easy.
