Home businesses in Hollywood FL require a Business Tax Receipt and must comply with the city's zoning regulations. The business must not change the residential character of the property. Hollywood delegates ADU and business regulations at the municipal level. Contact the city's Business Tax Division for specific requirements.
The City of Hollywood requires all home-based businesses to obtain a Business Tax Receipt and comply with zoning regulations. Home businesses must not change the residential character of the property through excessive traffic, noise, signage, or commercial activity visible from the street. The business must be clearly secondary to the residential use. The city's Planning and Development Services Department reviews applications for zoning compliance. Certain business types may require conditional use approval. Hollywood has its own zoning code rather than deferring to Broward County, so specific requirements should be verified with the city.
Operating without a Business Tax Receipt is a code violation. Home businesses that change residential character may be ordered to cease operations.
