Why Florida Is a Cleaning Business Powerhouse
Florida is the third most populous state in America and one of the fastest growing. With over 22.6 million residents, 8.6 million households, and an annual net migration of over 300,000 new residents, the demand for cleaning services in the Sunshine State is staggering and shows no signs of slowing down.
The state’s unique demographic mix fuels diverse cleaning demand. A massive retiree population values regular home maintenance. Young professionals in Miami, Tampa, and Orlando need move-in and recurring cleaning. Snowbirds require seasonal home openings and closings. And Florida’s status as a global tourism destination means vacation rental turnovers are a year-round goldmine.
Florida’s business environment is exceptionally friendly to entrepreneurs. There’s no state income tax, LLC formation is straightforward, and the regulatory burden is lighter than in most large states. Combined with year-round warm weather that eliminates seasonal slowdowns common in northern states, Florida offers arguably the best overall market conditions for cleaning businesses in the entire country.
No State Income Tax + Year-Round Demand
Florida combines two powerful advantages: no state income tax keeps more money in your pocket, and the state’s warm climate ensures year-round demand without the winter slowdowns that plague cleaning businesses in northern states.

What Florida Cleaners Charge
Florida’s diverse markets support a wide range of pricing, from budget-friendly to ultra-premium.
| Service | Price Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Standard House Cleaning | $110 – $260 | $170 |
| Deep Cleaning | $200 – $480 | $320 |
| Move-Out Cleaning | $250 – $560 | $390 |
| Office Cleaning (per sq ft) | $0.07 – $0.18 | $0.11 |
| Recurring Weekly Service | $95 – $220 | $145 |
South Florida (Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach) commands the highest rates. Orlando and Tampa fall in the mid-to-upper range. Jacksonville and the Panhandle offer moderate pricing. Vacation rental turnovers in Key West, Naples, and Destin charge significant premiums.
Florida Cleaning Business Requirements
Business Registration
Register your LLC or corporation with the Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz.org). LLC filing costs $125. Sole proprietors should register a fictitious name ($50).
Sales Tax
Florida’s state sales tax is 6%, with local surtaxes of 0.5–2.5% depending on the county. Residential cleaning services are generally not subject to sales tax, but commercial cleaning and janitorial services are taxable.
No State Cleaning License
Florida does not require a specific state license for cleaning businesses. Some counties and cities may require local business tax receipts (formerly called occupational licenses), typically costing $25–$150.
Workers’ Compensation
Florida requires workers’ comp for businesses with four or more employees (construction companies: one or more). Non-construction cleaning businesses with fewer than four employees are technically exempt but coverage is strongly recommended.
General Liability Insurance
Not legally required but essential in Florida. Hurricane-related property concerns make insurance especially important. Most cleaning businesses carry $500K–$1M coverage at $400–$900/year.
No State Income Tax
Florida has no personal state income tax. LLCs and sole proprietorships pay no state-level income tax on business profits. C-corporations are subject to a 5.5% corporate income tax.
