Incentives

Florida is considered one of the best states for business. Labor costs are low, regulations are limited and the state has no state income tax. The state offers incentives to qualifying companies and this unique region of Florida has an abundant supply of land for business growth, allowing for site-specific development. For those desiring an existing site, there are business parks located throughout the region. Learn more about Okeechobee’s incentives here.

Quality of Place

As a recreational paradise, Okeechobee County is a bit of a paradox. After all, making your home in Okeechobee County could be a truly timeless experience. With thousands upon thousands of gorgeous outdoor acres, “being active” can mean anything from hunting, hiking, biking and horseback riding to bird watching, clay and sport shooting, to golfing—or it can mean sitting back on a lazy afternoon floating with your fishing gear on Lake Okeechobee, Florida’s largest freshwater lake.
