About doing business in Punta Gorda & Port Charlotte
Punta Gorda is Charlotte County's only city and its county seat. Port Charlotte, across the Peace River, is unincorporated, so a business there deals only with Charlotte County, while a Punta Gorda business deals with both the City and the County.
Punta Gorda's waterfront runs along Charlotte Harbor, with the Harborwalk and Fishermen's Village, and Punta Gorda Isles is laced with residential canals. Waterfront homes, boats and seasonal living shape a lot of the local service work.
