Massage businesses in Miami-Dade need a state license from the Florida Board of Massage Therapy under FL Chapter 480, a county Local Business Tax Receipt, and must comply with anti-trafficking rules including posted hotline notices and ID checks.
Florida Chapter 480 licenses both individual massage therapists and establishments. Each location must designate a Florida-licensed therapist as the establishment's responsible party and pass state inspection. Miami-Dade Code Chapter 8A requires a Local Business Tax Receipt and zoning approval. Florida Statute 787.29 mandates posting of human trafficking hotline information in English, Spanish, and Creole in public-facing areas. Late-hour operations (between midnight and 5 a.m.) trigger heightened county scrutiny and possible Adult Use classification under Chapter 30. Code Compliance officers and MDPD jointly investigate complaints.
Operating without a state Establishment License is a first-degree misdemeanor under FL §480.046. Missing trafficking-hotline posters can lead to county fines and state license action.
