About Deerfield Beach

Deerfield Beach is the northernmost coastal city in Broward, next to Boca Raton, with a pier and beachfront, Intracoastal waterfront neighborhoods, inland communities, and commercial and light-industrial areas along Hillsboro Boulevard, Powerline Road and I-95. It is a natural base for businesses serving both north Broward and south Palm Beach County.

Licensing, permits and the transition

Boat repair is not generally covered by a DBPR construction license, though some work can touch electrical, plumbing or air-conditioning licensing, and yards are subject to environmental rules for bottom paint, fuel, bilge water and waste. Marine technicians often hold manufacturer or industry certifications such as ABYC. Which rules apply depends on the services you offer.

Deerfield Beach generally requires its own city business tax receipt in addition to Broward County's, and locally licensed trades go through the Broward County Central Examining Boards. The city is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.

Will you keep my employees and company name?

Our goal is to keep the team and the name in place. They are a big part of what makes a local business valuable.
