General FAQ

How do I get to the Town Hall and what are the office hours?

The Town Hall facility is located at 7580 South Federal Highway. This is approximately 1/2 mile south of Hypoluxo Road on the east side. The facility is Key West style with a tin roof. You will see three flags and a clock. Our drive is just north of the Mariners Cay entrance. Office hours are 9 AM until 4 PM Monday through Friday.

If I am planning on opening a business, what must I do?

Contact the Town Hall for specific information.  The first step is to file an application (forms are available to download on the Local Business Tax page on this site) to make sure you are in the proper zoning district for the type of business you wish to operate.  Commercial locations - If the zoning is appropriate, the building official and fire inspector must inspect and approve the premises.  Home Occupations - Certain restrictions apply.  An annual fee is collected.

When does one need a building permit?

If you are unsure a permit is needed it is always wise to check with the building official prior to making alterations.  Call the Town Hall at (561) 582-0155.

Search Tips and Tricks

Do the search results include the contents of PDFs and other documents?

Yes.  The website indexes web pages as well as PDFs, Microsoft Office documents, and text documents.

If any record, document, electronic file or other material published on www.hypoluxo.org is not compatible with screen reader software and is required to be compatible, the City may as an alternative to making a particular record, document, electronic file or other material compatible with screen reader software, offer to read such document to a visually-impaired individual within 5 business days of a request.  

 

If I search for a phrase (e.g. alarm permit), will the results only show exact matches?

No.  By default, the search results will show matches for any word within the phrase.  In this example, you would receive results for all web pages and documents that contained either the word alarm or the word permit or both.

In order to search on an exact phrase, enclose your search phrase in quotations.  The search results for "alarm permit" will show matches for that exact phrase.

Can I exclude a word from a search (e.g. all pages that have the word "alarm" but not the word "permit"?

Yes.   You can exclude words by using the minus sign (-).   In order to find the results of all pages that have alarm in the result but not permit, you would search for alarm -permit.
