City Hall to host one-stop Business-Ready Day for owners Nov. 19
City and county staff, from permits and tax receipts to vendor registration and grease traps, will answer business owners' questions in person from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Miami Beach business owners can get on-the-spot help from city and Miami-Dade County staff at a Business-Ready Day on Thursday, Nov. 19, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., the city announced on X.
The session is in the Building Department’s second-floor conference room at City Hall, 1700 Convention Center Drive, according to the city’s events calendar. The calendar lists tables from the city’s building, code compliance, fire, planning and zoning, finance, procurement, public works and emergency management offices, covering permits and inspections, certificates of use and occupancy, signs, sidewalk cafe permits, Business Tax Receipts and registering as a city vendor. Economic development staff will cover the city’s grants, incentives and business concierge service.
County tables include the Tax Collector’s Office for county business tax receipts, the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources for environmental permits and grease trap rules, and Water and Sewer. CareerSource South Florida, the U.S. Small Business Administration and three local banks are also listed.
The listing doesn’t mention a fee or registration. It says the days are held quarterly and invites owners to send questions ahead of time through the city’s Business Concierge request form. The city’s Economic Development Department takes questions at 305-673-7572 and [email protected].
One line of the calendar listing gives the date as Thursday, Feb. 19, while the event date, the city’s X post and the calendar links all say Nov. 19.
