All businesses operating in the city of Sunny Isles Beach must obtain a Certificate of Use from the City's Code Enforcement and Licensing Department.
A Certificate of Use is essentially a zoning permit, issued after an inspection, verifying that the business use is permitted in that zoning district.
After obtaining a Certificate of Use, the City requires businesses to obtain a Local Business Tax. For more information, visit the Local Business Tax web page.
