About doing business in Pembroke Pines
Since January 30, 2023, new businesses in Pembroke Pines get a Certificate of Use from the City's Planning and Economic Development Department before applying for the Local Business Tax Receipt. The Certificate is issued as a PDF, and a copy goes with the receipt application. Receipts run October 1 to September 30.
Building permits go through the City's Development Hub. Email applications haven't been accepted since April 25, 2022, and every document must be uploaded at submission, because the portal closes until the review cycle ends.
