About Cudjoe Key

Cudjoe Key is a Lower Keys community about halfway between Marathon and Key West, with canal-front neighborhoods and a mostly residential character. Hurricane Irma made landfall in the Lower Keys at Cudjoe Key in September 2017, so storm recovery and preparedness shape local building trades.

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

Millwork and cabinet shops don't generally need a state trade license to fabricate, though installation may require local licensing depending on scope.

Cudjoe Key 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.
