About Key Largo

Key Largo is the northernmost and largest of the Keys by land area and the gateway to the Keys from the mainland. It is home to John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and sits within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, and it is known for diving, snorkeling, fishing and boating, plus a year-round residential community.

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

Self storage is mostly a real estate business, governed by local zoning and Florida's self-service storage facility statute for things like lien procedures.

Key Largo 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. Environmental and marine-sanctuary rules can also affect work near the water.
