Form an LLC in Palm Beach
Starting a Palm Beach business, built to operate cleanly
The Palm Beach area pairs an affluent customer base with steady demand for quality services — real estate, hospitality, property services, and professional firms. In a market that expects polish, getting licensed right is part of looking legitimate.
The state step (fast)
Your LLC is created when the state approves your Articles of Organization — $125, generally one to three business days.
The Palm Beach County layer
- Anyone selling goods or services in Palm Beach County needs a county local business tax receipt — and that explicitly includes home-based businesses and sole proprietors.
- If your business is inside city limits, you apply to the city first: the city reviews zoning and signs the zoning authorization on your county application, then you complete the county receipt. City zoning sign-off, then county.
- In unincorporated Palm Beach County, a home-based business generally doesn't need separate zoning approval — unless you're running a landscaping or storage operation, which does.
- Renewals run July 1 through September 30, and receipts are subject to zoning and health regulations.
