Boynton Beach, FL Business Licensing & Operations: Massage Establishments (2026)

Sec. 66 annual tax. The notes at the end of that fee schedule explain what the asterisk means: it marks businesses that required a license and/or certification from a state or other agency, naming several possible regulators including the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, and the Palm Beach County Health Department, among others. Sec. 13-9 turns that note into a hard requirement at the point of issuance: the Director of Development may issue the Certificate of Use and Occupancy or Business Tax Receipt only after confirming zoning compliance and, where state law requires occupational or professional licensure, after the applicant produces proof of that license.

A massage therapist must also first obtain the Certificate of Use and Occupancy under Sec. 13-6, which involves a City inspection of the premises, and both documents run for twelve months from October 1 through the following September 30, renewable annually before the due date. If a state-issued license or certification tied to the business is later suspended, revoked, or otherwise discontinued, Sec. 13-18(a)(3) gives the City grounds to revoke or refuse to renew the local Business Tax Receipt on that basis alone.
