Broward County’s Tax Landscape

Fort Lauderdale sits at the economic center of Broward County — Florida’s second-most populous county with over 1.9 million residents and a GDP exceeding $100 billion. While Florida’s lack of a state income tax attracts businesses and retirees alike, Broward County’s property tax rates, tangible personal property taxes, and local business tax receipts create planning opportunities that many taxpayers overlook.

Our main office is positioned along the Commercial Boulevard corridor, one of Broward County’s busiest commercial arteries. We work with hundreds of small businesses along this stretch — from the auto dealerships and medical practices near I-95 to the restaurants and retail shops closer to the beach. We understand the specific tax obligations these businesses face, including Broward County’s Tourist Development Tax for hospitality businesses and the local surtax that applies to commercial transactions.

Fort Lauderdale’s role as a hub for international trade — particularly with Latin America and the Caribbean through Port Everglades — means many of our clients have cross-border tax considerations. Our bilingual team handles foreign tax credits, FBAR filings, and international reporting requirements that come with doing business across borders.

Fort Lauderdale Tax FAQs

Do I need to file a Broward County business tax receipt if I work from home in Fort Lauderdale?

Yes. The City of Fort Lauderdale requires a Local Business Tax Receipt (formerly the occupational license) for most businesses operating within city limits, including home-based businesses. The fee varies by business type. We help clients determine their classification and file the correct application.

How does Florida’s homestead exemption affect my Fort Lauderdale property taxes?

Florida’s homestead exemption reduces your property’s assessed value by up to $50,000 for primary residences. In Broward County, where the combined millage rate is among the highest in the state, this exemption can save Fort Lauderdale homeowners $1,000+ annually. We review property tax assessments as part of our individual tax planning to ensure you’re claiming every exemption available.

I own a short-term rental near Fort Lauderdale Beach. What taxes apply?

Short-term rentals in Fort Lauderdale are subject to Florida’s 6% sales tax, Broward County’s 1% discretionary surtax, and the 6% Broward County Tourist Development Tax — a combined effective rate of 13%. You must register with the Florida Department of Revenue and may need a separate City of Fort Lauderdale vacation rental permit. We set up the proper registrations and file all quarterly returns.

Can your Enrolled Agents represent me at an IRS audit in Fort Lauderdale?

Absolutely. Enrolled Agents hold unlimited practice rights before the IRS, meaning we can represent you at any IRS office — including the Fort Lauderdale IRS office on W. Cypress Creek Road — without you needing to attend. We handle all correspondence, documentation, and negotiation on your behalf.
