About Tavernier

Tavernier is an Upper Keys community between Key Largo and Islamorada, with a historic village feel along US-1, Tavernier Creek and a mix of year-round residents, seasonal owners and small businesses serving the Upper Keys.

Selling in the Keys

Selling a business in the Keys has its own considerations. Many Keys businesses depend on seasonal visitor traffic, a limited local labor pool and workforce housing, and supplies that arrive by truck along US-1, so buyers will ask how the business handles the off-season, hurricane preparation and shutdown periods, and whether key employees live locally. Windstorm, flood and business-interruption insurance can be a significant cost, and buyers usually review it closely. Marine and waterfront properties add permitting and environmental questions. Gathering these details early makes the process smoother for you and for a buyer.

Licensing, permits and the transition

Machine shops generally don't need a state trade license, but certifications like ISO 9001 or AS9100 and customer approvals can be essential to keeping key accounts.

Tavernier is unincorporated, so businesses generally need a Monroe County business tax receipt but no separate city receipt, and building permits and contractor licensing run through Monroe County.
