About Islamorada

Islamorada is a village of islands in the Upper Keys, including Upper and Lower Matecumbe, Plantation Key and Windley Key, known as a sportfishing destination, with resorts, marinas, restaurants and a mix of year-round and seasonal residents along the Overseas Highway.

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

Welding businesses typically rely on individual certifications such as AWS. Mobile and structural work may need additional licensing depending on scope.

Islamorada requires a Village of Islamorada business tax receipt in addition to Monroe County's, and the village runs its own building and planning functions, so permits and contractor registration are handled locally.
