All businesses are now required to have DERM approval for Business Tax Receipt
Dear Business Owner,
This is an important message from North Bay Village in an effort to help you comply with county Ordinances.
Miami-Dade County has found that certain businesses in North Bay Village may be operating without the essential Municipal Certificate of Use approval from their Division of Environmental Resources Management (DERM). Under Chapter 24 of Miami-Dade County’s Code of Ordinances, a Business Tax Receipt (BTR) cannot be issued without this DERM approval.
What does this mean for you? If you operate at a non-residential business location in North Bay Village, you must provide proof of DERM municipal Certificate of Use approval. Otherwise, your business will not be allowed to obtain or renew its BTR. This is only a one-time requirement, unless you expand your square foot area, add new services, or make changes to your business’s name, ownership, or location.
Our Customer Service department at Village Hall is ready to assist you with any questions, and even help you submit your application. Contact us by phone, email, or visit our office to learn more or request an appointment.
Thank you for your cooperation. Together, we can ensure a thriving business environment in North Bay Village.
