Please allow me to personally welcome you to Wellington and to our Chamber of Commerce. We are a boutique chamber comprised of the best of the best professionals doing business in Wellington.
2022 has been a banner year for our chamber! We have attracted more members than ever, sponsorships grew, committees expanded, and our events sold out in days!
We made a promise this past year to be a CONNECTOR of Leaders and Influencers, a CATALYST for Business Growth and a CHAMPION for a Stronger Community. Our success comes from the hard work from our board of directors, staff and volunteers.
Our Chamber is active in business and community endeavors, and our committees work tirelessly to uphold our mission as well as work closely with our members to provide relevant and up-to-theminute training and information contributing to their success in our Village.
Wellington is an equestrian community and lays claim to outstanding equestrian programs, activities and events, and is known as the Winter Equestrian Capital, as well as the Polo Capital, of the World.
Our medical community is a thriving industry, and the Chamber boasts a full spectrum of medical facilities and professionals as well as the most highly regarded, award-winning hospitals and medical facilities.
Education is a top priority for families moving to Wellington, and our schools have a reputation for their high level of excellence and “A” ratings. In addition, our parks and recreation facilities are state-of-the-art, outstanding venues providing activities for all ages through numerous parks and sports programs. Even as we grow, we continue to cultivate a hometown atmosphere.
So, whether you are coming to visit or to live, we at the Chamber offer our sincerest welcome. Feel free to stop in and say hello! We hope you enjoy this informative Guide to Wellington, and we encourage you to patronize our Chamber members when you shop or do business in Wellington. Please stop by or give us a call for additional information, or you can visit us at www.wellingtonchamber.com. We care about the community and your business.
Michela Green Executive Director Wellington Chamber of Commerce
I have been embracing the unique challenges that come with my role as your Wellington Chamber of Commerce President.
Although 2021 was a banner year for retention and events, my goal has been to grow our membership substantially this year. With a solid infrastructure in place, we can successfully manage a larger investment of members while maintaining our boutique chamber feel. The larger the membership, the stronger our referral base.
One of our unique initiatives is through our small business committee: our “CHAMBER COLLABS” video series. Here, we ask Chamber members who have met and partnered up on business endeavors to send us a video letting everyone know about their partnership. This is a great tool to not only promote our businesses but to lay the groundwork in becoming a self-sustaining entity. Meaning, why go outside our own chamber for referrals, partnerships and collaboration? We have a dynamic group already in place, and I personally trust we are all making sure to employ the CHAMBER MEMBER first policy!
As you know, the vast majority of our events sold out fairly quickly in 2021. As we re-emerged from the pandemic, our members came out to support events in numbers we have not seen to date. Our 2022 events have shaped up to be the largest and most vibrant to date. With so many new businesses entering the marketplace, we want Wellington to shine as the premier destination to live, work and play, as our philosophy as a municipal and boutique chamber is to take care of our own four walls first.
My door is always open. Stop by, say hello and let us know what we can do. We love ideas, and we are not afraid to try new things.

The Wellington Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1996, one year after the Village of Wellington itself. It was founded by a group of local business professionals. Our current president is Scott Sweigart.
The Wellington Chamber was formed to focus on what makes Wellington unique from surrounding communities by emphasizing the differences, bringing a competitive advantage to Wellington merchants, and protecting those differences for all residents. In fact, it was a return to the idea that chambers of commerce best serve their communities when they are local and when they do not try to be all things to all people. It was also felt that local chambers must look to the betterment of their communities in all facets of community life and not just the business aspect of the communities. The following mission statement embodies these two thoughts:
“The Wellington Chamber of Commerce is organized to advance the general welfare and prosperity of the Village of Wellington so that its residents and all areas of its business community shall prosper. All necessary means of promotion shall be provided, and particular attention and emphasis shall be given to the economic, civic, commercial, cultural, industrial, security and educational interests of the village.”
Our Board of Directors is comprised of top businessmen and women who wholeheartedly give their time and resources to make the Chamber a more vibrant, successful and positively recognized community-based agency.
The many annual programs of the Chamber reflect a rich tradition of achievement of the goals within the mission statement. For many, the year actually starts in December with our biggest event of the year, Winterfest with Vanilla Ice! Thousands were in attendance for live musical and dance performances, ice skating on the promenade, exhibitors, shopping, delicious food, VIP Lounges and of course to sing along with our local celebrity and philanthropist Vanilla Ice.
Winterfest gives way to the coming of the New Year and the height of the "season," accompanied by much excitement for our equestrian, dressage and polo competitions. Thousands of people strong, the equestrian professionals are back, and the Wellington Chamber welcomes them in the name of our local merchants.
Early spring brings our 5K Run. Our 2022 Community 5K “HURDLE HAUL” took place at Village Park with HUNDREDS of racers, exhibitors and festivities.
In March each year, the Wellington Chamber recognizes and installs our incoming Board of Officers and Directors.
For the last 17 years, our FLAVORS OF WELLINGTON food and wine event has been held at our amazing Wellington venues, including the International Polo Club Palm Beach and the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. In 2020, we
Beach International Equestrian Center. In 2020, we shifted our event to a mobile platform utilizing trolleys to take our participants to the exhibitor locations! People loved this format so much that now FLAVORS is a MOBILE EVENT taking our attendees around the Village to visit their local Wellington Chamber eateries and establishments.
Our committees have been on the cutting edge of new and innovative ideas in generating economic growth and change in our community. We have fought for changes in the hours businesses can operate in Wellington, helped to bring about changes to the local sign ordinances, supported the concept of the Medical Arts District and have voiced opposition to those things that would hinder the continued use of the Global Dressage Arena. We have sponsored health and wellness expos and continue the search to find the highest and best land use for Wellington development projects. We have sponsored numerous candidate forums and debates in order to keep our members better informed on the issues that affect their businesses.
The Women of Wellington (WOW) was designed specifically for our local businesswomen to provide opportunities for women-to-women networking. This committee of exceptional ladies has recently kicked off the “30 Women 30 Nights” philanthropic endeavor, which selects a different local nonprofit each month and works with it on special events and projects as well as to bring exposure to the organization.
The Wellington Chamber also offers many opportunities for local merchants and professionals to network and showcase their businesses. These are not just ribbon-cuttings but true community networking events where one can come and meet our Board of Directors, Ambassadors, your neighbor or maybe your next customer. They are innovative, exciting and effective!
Our monthly luncheons have gained notoriety in the community as innovative, interactive NOT-TO-MISS events. Each
month promises a new and “in the news” high-profile speaker addressing topics of paramount interest to our members and to the community.
Our President’s Circle Membership is comprised of top prominent local business leaders, community leaders and entrepreneurs. This trustee level of the Chamber grows every year and is a perfect opportunity to maintain a highly visible profile in the community.
We are proud to offer our AWARDWINNING official Guide to Wellington, which the Chamber publishes annually. People call the Wellington Chamber first because they recognize it by the name! They want the “local” chamber, and they get it with us! Come on by. You’ll be glad you did. “WE ARE WELLINGTON.”

After completing his MBA from the Wharton Graduate Business School and working with IBM in Philadelphia, Jess Santamaria and family in 1974 decided to come to our Western Communities when Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, The Acreage and Loxahatchee Groves had a combined population of less than 4,000 residents.
Jess and his wife Victoria were a young couple with three very young children who needed normal services closer to home. A few years later, Jess started planning the first neighborhood commercial development at the northeast corner of Southern Boulevard and Royal Palm Beach Boulevard. In 1981, Jess brought the first supermarket, the first major drug store, the first medical center (doctors and dentist), the first bank, the first gasoline station, the first McDonalds, etc. Business was not easy, as Jess had to survive the three economic recessions from 1974 through 1993, and the most recent (2006-2011).
Together with the economic difficulties also came opportunities. Working 80 hours a week, Jess and his wife Victoria have converted the above three projects into major successes: The Royal Inn now has 166 suites and rooms, Saratoga Pines and Lakes has 660 homes, and the “Original Wellington Mall” is very successful. Jess also has built more than 3,000 homes in Wellington, the Acreage, Loxahatchee and Royal Palm Beach and several other smaller commercial developments.
Jess has been heavily involved in many public and civic activities since his arrival in 1974, among them: Palm Beach County Commissioner (2006-2014); Palms West Hospital, Chairman of the Board of Trustees (1986-1992); Wellington Regional Medical Center Board of Governors (2002-present); Palms West Chamber of Commerce, President (2000-2001); My Brothers’/Sisters’ Keeper Scholarship Foundation (Founder); My Brothers’/Sisters’ Keeper Charitable Trust (Founder); Citizens for Open Government (Co-Founder); Crestwood Performing Arts League (Co-Founder); and Winterfest 2021 Venue Sponsor.
Today, after 47 years in our Western Communities, Jess continues all his business, civic and community activities together with his wife Victoria and eldest son Chris, who is an attorney.

The cover art for the 2023 Guide to Wellington was created by resident Bruce Helander, one of the most prominent artists in Palm Beach County history.
The cover art celebrates blue skies over an energized environment perfectly suitable for equestrian activity, including images of local landmarks including a dedicated City Hall, local first-rate hospitals and polo fields, among others. The cover also features a crowd in the grandstand for a polo match as well as a group enjoying the Flavors Mobile Food & Wine event. Well-known Wellington residents include Ashley Holzer, an Olympic Equestrian medalist who is pictured on her horse named “Bliss” in the bottom center foreground (photo credit Hypomedia), and rapper Vanilla Ice (bottom right foreground), as a community volunteer.
During Helander’s almost 40-year residency in the county, he has created numerous posters and catalogs along with his distinctive collage compositions. He also was a contributor to the New Yorker magazine for many years, and he provided illustrations to the United Nations and the Vatican, among other high-profile organizations.
His collages are in more than 50 permanent museum collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Norton Museum of Art owns 27 collages, and honored Helander with a solo exhibition in 2003. He is a former Worth Avenue art dealer, served as an ARCOM Commissioner for the Town of Palm Beach and was vice president of the Worth Avenue Association. He is a former White House Fellow of the National Endowment for the Arts and the former editor-in-chief of the Art Economist. In 2014, he was inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame, one of only two recipients in history from Palm Beach.
This unique poster design is being offered at a wholesale price of $250 for a fine art print in a signed and numbered edition. A generous percentage of net proceeds will benefit Meals on Wheels.
Small business owners love what they do, and they play an important role in supporting our local community here in Wellington. From providing a home town feel, to working hard to know their neighbors, our small businesses do so much to help others.
Here are 10 reasons why you should support small businesses!
Small Businesses:
1. Provide excellent, personalized customer service.

3. Provide jobs.
4. Build and support strong communities.
5. Provide sustainable shopping alternatives.
6. Cater to diverse and niche customers.
7. Provide authenticity, originality and quality.
8. Drive innovation.
9. Treasure their customer relationships.
10. Rely on positive interactions to spread the word about their business.
Think for a moment about some recent purchases you have made. Were these items from a big box store? From an online retailer? Or were they from a local small business? When you support local businesses, not only are you keeping more of your money in our community, but you are also helping your friends, family and neighbors keep their jobs, create more jobs, and invest in other local community initiatives.
For those of you reading this who have supported local small businesses, we thank you. Local business owners are counting on your continued support. If you are looking to start a business in Wellington, we are here to help.
Jodi Gast, Gast Construction Group Small Business Committee Chairwoman 2021-2022
Wellington offers attractive opportunities for virtually all types of businesses, says Michela Green, Executive Director, Wellington Chamber of Commerce. “Our Chamber focuses on bringing a competitive advantage to Wellington merchants, and to protect those differences for all residents.
In fact, it was a return to the idea that chambers of commerce best serve their communities when they are local and when they do not try to be all things to all people. It was also felt that local chambers must look to the betterment of their communities in all facets of community life and not just the business aspect of the communities.
“We at the Chamber are proud to support our members and strengthen our very unique, diverse and innovative community,” Green adds.
Small businesses are finding their way to the Wellington community and discovering that with all the numerous amenities and services available in the area, it is a perfect mix for their new businesses to thrive.
With 350 members, the Wellington Chamber offers a year-round program of special events, business growth learning workshops and networking opportunities.
Many Wellington companies are leaders in the county’s dynamic aviation, equestrian, life sciences, medical and financial service industries. Other businesses cater to the needs of Wellington’s 65,000-plus residents, including retailers, restaurants and equestrian-based companies. Thanks to Wellington’s central location in the heart of Palm Beach County, area businesses enjoy easy access to South Florida’s major roadways, international airports and seaports.
Wellington real estate offers fabulous and diverse inventory choices as well as an A-rated school system, great public and semi-private golf courses and top-of-the-line/cutting-edge health care … all just minutes from downtown West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Palm Beach International Airport and the best beaches in the state!
“The Wellington Chamber of Commerce is unrelenting in its support for our small businesses.
The recognition that small businesses are the backbone of our Village’s prosperity means there are continual programs to help businesses grow—especially during challenging times.”
ROXANNE STEIN Past-President Board of Directors Wellington Chamber of Commerce
Today, the Chamber is working closely with area leaders to enhance Wellington’s attractiveness to employers in the service, health care, retail, manufacturing and distribution sectors. The Wellington Chamber continues to promote sustainable economic development. The Chamber believes in bringing more jobs to the Village, which will reduce regional transportation costs as well as create additional revenue for city services, making Wellington a better place to live.
In addition, the Chamber is strengthening the hospitality sector by promoting the region’s unique equestrian resources as well as staging special events. Our equestrian and polo venues attract some of the world’s finest players as well as national and international personalities, celebrities and dignitaries.
From Baptist Health South Florida to the Hospital for Special Surgery, and an outpatient location from the gold standard of pediatric care facilities, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Health, Wellington continues to be a preeminent destination to meet health care needs both common and exotic.
Wellington Regional Medical Center is a 235-bed community hospital conveniently located at the intersection of Forest Hill Boulevard and State Road 7/441 in Wellington.
Since opening its doors more than 35 years ago, Wellington Regional has kept pace with the growing medical needs of
our community. It has invested in developing advanced and comprehensive health care services—from neonatal intensive care to hyperbaric medicine to some of the most advanced technologies in cancer treatments available today. The hospital is also widely recognized for its wound care. In 2022, Wellington Regional’s Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine was recognized as a Center of Distinction by Healogics®, the nation’s largest provider of advanced wound care services.
The Alan B. Miller Pavilion is a three-story, 103,000-square-foot structure attached to the north face of the hospital, transforming it into a flourishing medical complex. A towering achievement in innovative health care design, the Pavilion distinguishes Wellington Regional from every other hospital in the region. By incorporating the latest breakthroughs in technology, the hospital is increasing staff efficiency, fostering patient engagement, augmenting the healing process and improving the overall patient experience.
Wellington Regional recognizes that the patient experience extends beyond the patient. Thoughtful spaces, complimentary Wi-Fi service and upgraded dining selections also provide a pleasant experience for family and friends. A stateof-the-art pharmacy and two eight-bed ICU step-down units provide support for existing medical-surgical services. Additional space is reserved for the expansion of specialty programs, including orthopedics, cardiology, neurosurgery and oncology. The hospital’s Ken DiLallo Level III neonatal intensive care unit cares for the smallest of newborns with the widest range of newborn conditions.
Wellington Regional’s newest emergency department, ER at Westlake, is a
freestanding emergency department at 16750 Persimmon Boulevard at the intersection of Seminole Pratt Whitney Road. It opened in 2019, and is staffed 24/7 with an ER physician and appropriate ancillary staff capable of treating general emergency cases from cuts and bruises to heart attacks and strokes, with the ability to airlift patients to the main hospital if needed. In 2020, ER at Westlake received the 2020 Guardian of Excellence Award for achieving and sustaining excellence in patient satisfaction.
In addition to providing high-quality health care, the hospital promotes overall community wellness through free preventive health screenings, educational lectures and support groups.
Through an unmatched commitment to patient care, continued dedication by physicians, staff and auxiliary, and an ongoing investment by its parent company, Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS), a King of Prussia, Pa.-based company, Wellington Regional Medical Center is proud of the services it provides and looks forward to fulfilling the needs of the community in the years ahead.

The Palm Beach County Tax Collector serves as the agent for the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) for titling and registering all motorized vehicles, boats and mobile homes (commercial and private), including motorcycles and mopeds (registrations only). The Tax Collector’s office also issues disabled person parking permits.
New residents should register their vehicle(s) and obtain a Florida license plate within 30 days of establishing legal residency, accepting employment or upon placement of a child in school.

Registrations of privately owned vehicles and long-term leased vehicles are valid until midnight on the first registered owner’s birthday. You can renew up to three months before the expiration date. A delinquent fee is charged if the registration is not renewed by the 10th of the following month.
The DHSMV may send a courtesy reminder notice a month before your birthday. Nonreceipt of the notice does not relieve registrants from their responsibility to renew on time or exempt them from paying the delinquent fee upon renewal.
Current Florida residents can renew their motor vehicle registration online up to three months in advance. Nonresidents of Florida must take their proof of valid Florida insurance, along with the title, to the Palm Beach County Tax Collector office.

The following tests are given at driver license service centers and may or may not be required for the driver license or ID card you seek. The testing chart located in this information will help you determine the test(s) you will be required to complete.
n Hearing – Drivers applying for a license who are deaf or cannot hear conversation spoken in a normal tone of voice are restricted to driving with an outside rearview mirror which should be mounted on the left side of the vehicle, or wearing of a hearing aid.
n Vision – Vision testing, using an eye machine located on the counter, is conducted in all driver license service centers. Individuals with visual acuity readings below 20/40 are referred to an
eye specialist. Color blindness will not cause any special condition for licensing.
n Knowledge Exam – 50 multiple choice questions about traffic laws and traffic signs. To prepare, review the Florida Driver License Handbook and take the Class E Knowledge Practice Test. Class E knowledge examinations are available in Arabic, Chinese, English, Haitian Creole, Russian and Spanish.
Important: Customers with Class E driver licenses that have been expired for more than one year will be required to complete the Class E knowledge exam and vision exam prior to obtaining a valid Class E driver license. The Class E knowledge exam may be completed up to one year before applying for a Class E driver license. If the period between completion of the Class E knowledge exam and application for a Class E driver license exceeds one year, retesting of the knowledge exam will be required prior to issuance.
n Driving Test – You must provide a vehicle for the driving test. The vehicle must have a valid tag, proof of insurance and pass a vehicle inspection. During the driving test, the examiner will observe your ability to control the vehicle and how well you obey traffic laws.
Driver license handbooks, motorcycle handbooks and commercial driver license handbooks are available at local driver license service centers. There is no charge for handbooks and they may be returned for re-use. Additional information is available at www.flhsmv.gov.

Seat Belts
The law states that the front seat passengers must wear seat belts. This law applies to any car manufactured since 1968. In addition, all passengers under 18 years old must wear a seat belt or be otherwise restrained by a child car seat. It is against the law to operate a vehicle if all the passengers do not meet these standards. The cost for a seat belt violation is $30. For a child that is not properly restrained, the violation is $60. For more information, visit www.dmvflorida.org.
Texting while driving is a primary offense in the state of Florida, which means you can be pulled over by law enforcement and fined. Here are fines and penalties of the new Texting Law:
n First-offense drivers will be fined $30, and no points will be assessed to their driving record
n Second Texting and Driving offense within five years will be considered a moving violation and carry a $60 fine and three points on your driving record
n Texting in a School Zone: Two points added to the primary offense
n Texting resulting in a crash: Six points added to the primary offense
Motorized vessels used in freshwater or saltwater must be registered at the Palm Beach County Tax Collector’s office. You need to provide a Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin (MCO), title or its
equivalent when you register the vessel. Florida recognizes valid registration certificates and numbers issued to nonresident vessel owners by other states for 90 days. If you plan to use the vessel in Florida longer than 90 days, you need to register in Florida. Bring your out-of-state title and registration with you when you come to the Tax Collector’s office. Visit www.pbctax.com or call (561) 355-2264.
Fishing
In Florida, both freshwater and saltwater fishing licenses may be required. To protect our natural resources, there are some legal minimum lengths and limits on the number of fish you may possess. There is also closed season on some shellfish and snook. To obtain a resident license for fishing and hunting, you must be a resident of Florida for six months. Residents 65 or older can obtain a complimentary hunting and fishing license when they show a valid Florida driver license or ID card.
Fishing licenses and information may be obtained at the Tax Collector’s office or at any state agent (bait shops, sporting goods stores, etc.). Additional information is available at www.pbctax.com, or call the Constitutional Tax Collector’s office at (561) 355-2264.
Hunting
A valid hunting license is required for anyone taking or attempting to take game or furbearing animals. Hunters must also pay a fee to the owner of commercial shooting preserves for the privilege of hunting game. There are many special seasons, legal methods, bag limits, requirements and regulations that affect hunters in Florida. Call (561) 355-2264 for additional information, or visit www.pbctax.com.
Marriage
Main Courthouse
205 N. Dixie Highway
West Palm Beach
Both individuals must present photo identification (driver’s license, passport or identification card) to receive a marriage license. There is a three-day waiting period between the date the license is issued and the date the ceremony is performed, unless the couple has attended a pre-marital course or both are from out of state. The license fee is $86. If previously married, the date of divorce must be provided. For more information, call the Clerk & Comptroller’s West Palm Beach office at (561) 355-2996 or visit the site, www.mypalmbeachclerk.com.
All dogs and cats are required to wear a rabies license tag on or before the date a dog or cat is six months of age; or within 30 calendar days of acquiring a dog or cat; or within 30 calendar days after a dog or cat resides in Palm Beach County, pursuant to PBC Ordinance 98-22. The non-sterilized rabies license tag is $75, and the sterilized rabies license tag is $15. Tags are available at Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control, 7100 Belvedere Road, West Palm Beach or from participating private veterinary offices. All dogs and cats are required to be vaccinated against rabies at four months of age in accordance to Florida State Statute 828.30. Ask your veterinarian about the three-year vaccine. Animals must have a one-year history of a rabies vaccination before a three-year rabies vaccination can be administered.
The purchase of a non-sterilized tag without a hobby breeder permit certifies the pet will not be used for breeding. Breeding dogs and cats is prohibited in Palm Beach County without a special permit. For more information, call (800) 738-3463.
Animal Care and Control encourages pet owners to have a permanent electronic identification chip implanted in their animals. For further information, call (561) 233-1200. To review the Palm Beach County Animal Ordinance 98-22 in its entirety, visit www.pbcgov.com/ publicsafety/animalcare.
Florida’s Constitution mandates that all property values must be assessed at market value as of January 1 each year. Market value is typically what a property would sell for in an open and competitive market— what a property is worth to a willing buyer
and willing seller. By Florida law, only sales transactions that occurred during the previous year can be used to establish values as of January 1 of the current year. For 2023 values we look at 2022 sales to estimate values for the 2022 tax roll.

In the state of Florida, a $25,000 exemption is applied to the first $50,000 of your property’s assessed value if your property is your permanent residence and
you owned the property on January 1 of the tax year. This exemption applies to all taxes, including school district taxes. An additional exemption of up to $25,000 will be applied if your property’s assessed value is between at least $50,000 and $75,000. This exemption is not applied to school district taxes.
When qualifying for the Homestead Exemption, you will need the following documents for all property owners applying:
n Florida Driver’s License or Florida ID if you do not drive
n Florida car registration
n Florida Voter’s ID (if you vote)
n Immigration documents if not a U.S. citizen
Documents should reflect the address of your homesteaded property. For more information about the available exemptions, visit the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s website, pbcgov.com/papa, or call Exemption Services at (561) 355-2866.
Residential property owners with an existing Homestead Exemption can transfer a portion of their tax savings to a new residence. You can apply for portability when you apply for the
standard Homestead Exemption on your new property. The deadline to apply for all new exemptions is March 1 of the qualifying year. Owners of nonhomesteaded proper-ties, such as second homes, may qualify for a 10 percent exemption benefit on the market value.

State Taxes
The Florida Department of Revenue administers more than 30 taxes and fees, including sales and use tax, reemployment (formerly unemployment) tax,
over 30 years of experience, we believe that the customer’s convenience matters most. Specializing in prompt and efficient
we are committed to establishing new standards for
communications services tax, corporate income tax and fuel tax. It collects the money that pays for state and local government services Floridians depend on, and the department continually improves its technology and customer service, so reporting and paying taxes is as convenient and easy as possible. For more information contact the Department of Revenue online at floridarevenue.com or at the Regional Service Center located at 2468 Metrocentre Blvd., West Palm Beach, or call (561) 640-2800.
The minimum combined sales tax rate for Palm Beach County, Florida is 7%. This is the total of state and county sales tax rates. The Florida state sales tax rate is currently 6%. The Palm Beach County sales tax rate is 1%. Some counties, including Palm Beach County, impose a discretionary sales surtax in addition to the 6 percent state tax. The county tax rates can range from .25 to 2.5 percent, and are levied on the first $5,000 of the purchase price. The $5,000 limit does not apply to commercial rentals, transient rentals or services. Consumers pay sales tax and any county-imposed taxes to the seller at the time of purchase.
Household goods are not taxed in Florida. Tangible Personal Property is assessed annually on business property such as furniture, fixtures and equipment at fair market value. The first $25,000 in value is exempt from taxation. An initial Tangible Personal Property Return must be filed to claim this exemption. Failure to file will result in the loss of the exemption and assessment of penalties. The Return DOR-405 is available to download on the website, pbcgov.com/papa. Call Tangible Services at (561) 355-2896.
Use Tax
Unless specifically exempt, merchandise purchased out of state is subject to tax
when brought into Florida within six months of the purchase date. This “use tax,” as it is commonly called, is also assessed at the rate of 6 percent. Examples of such taxable purchases include purchases made by mail order or the Internet, furniture delivered from dealers located in another state, and computer equipment delivered by common carrier. Items purchased and used in another state for six months or longer are not subject to use tax when the items are later brought into Florida. No use tax is due if the out-of-state dealer charged sales tax of 6 percent or more. If the dealer charged less than 6 percent, you must pay the difference to equal 6 percent. For example, if the dealer charged 4 percent, you must pay the additional 2 percent to Florida. Complete an Outof-State Purchase Return (Form DR-15MO) to file and pay use tax. You can get this form from our website at floridarevenue.com. If the tax owed is less than $1, you do not have to file.
Other Taxes and Fees
Florida does not impose personal income, inheritance, gift taxes or intangible personal property taxes. However, there are other taxes and fees that, in certain counties or circumstances, Florida residents may be required to pay, such as: convention development tax, local option tourist tax, fuel taxes, communications services tax, gross receipts tax, lead-acid battery fee, new tire fee, motor vehicle fee (Lemon Law) or rental car surcharge.
Most businesses are subject to sales and use tax, discretionary sales surtax, unemployment tax and corporate income tax. If your business is required to collect sales tax, you must register as a sales and use tax dealer before you begin conducting
business in Florida. You can register to collect and/or report tax through our Internet site. The site will guide you through an application interview that will help you determine your tax obligations. If you do not have Internet access, you can complete a paper Application to Collect and/or Report Tax in Florida (Form DR-1). Or contact the Department of Revenue online at floridarevenue.com or at the Regional Service Center located at 2468 Metrocentre Blvd., West Palm Beach or call (561) 640-2800.

Wellington’s reputation as a first-rate place to raise a family owes much to the exemplary public and private schools in the area.
From wonderful elementary and middle schools for the younger kids to high schools and local colleges that challenge the older ones, there is no end to the top-notch educational choices available.
The School District of Palm Beach County (SDPBC) is the 10th-largest in the country and the fifth-largest school district in the state, with approximately 167,500 students enrolled (pre-K through 12th grade). SDPBC has been recognized in recent years as a high-performing, A–rated district, according to the Florida Department of Education.
The Wellington Education Committee is a seven-member committee comprised of Wellington residents appointed by the Village Council. Generally, each member’s role is to monitor activities in Wellington schools by attending School Advisory Committee (SAC) meetings and reporting back to the Education Committee.
Additionally, the Village Council has approved in the budget the Keely Spinelli Education Grant. The purpose of the Keely Spinelli Grant is to assist Bink’s Forest Elementary, Elbridge Gale Elementary, Emerald Cove Middle, Equestrian Trail Elementary, New Horizons Elementary, Palm Beach Central High, Panther Run Elementary, Polo Park Middle, Wellington Elementary, Wellington Landings Middle and Wellington High with funding for programs, tutors, incentives, instructional materials and/or equipment for students in reading and/or math.
The total annual budget for the grant program is $400,000. Each of the 11 public schools serving Wellington will be eligible for a maximum of $36,363 in annual funding. The Education Committee will review and
approve all requests for funding prior to each school receiving grant funds. Allocated funds will be kept in a segregated account within each school. Any funds not encumbered by December 31 may be utilized by the school for allowable expenses during the current school year. Schools with unencumbered funds must identify the proposed use of those funds prior to receiving current year funding. All funding must be approved by the Village Council prior to disbursement of funds.
Eligible schools are required to submit a proposed, prioritized budget with the application for final approval. Schools will be eligible to utilize funds for consumable curriculum materials (study guides and/or academic workbooks, etc.), incentives including transportation to encourage students to attend after-school academic programs, tutoring, any direct educational purpose and for equipment such as computers or tablets, etc. Schools can also use the funds for personnel (tutors) to supplement a salary that is not already budgeted by the School District. Schools will be required to submit invoices for all expenditures by February 1 of each funding year.
The Education Committee also gathers input on issues that may affect children attending Wellington schools and reviews programs as requested by the Village Council. For more information on the Wellington Education Committee, please contact Paulette Edwards at 791-4796.
Wellington also offers adults the opportunity to learn through community classes available at schools throughout the county. Adult education is available locally at Wellington Community High School, 2101 Greenview Shores Blvd. Call 795-4910 for more information.

n Help you stay healthy by recommending preventive services, like screening tests and shots
n Treat many health problems
n Refer you to a specialist when you need more help with a specific health issue
When you are choosing a doctor, look for someone who:
n Treats you with respect
n Listens to your opinions and concerns
n Encourages you to ask questions
n Explains things in ways you can understand
When you and your doctor work together as a team, you’ll get better health care. Try the following tips to find a doctor who’s right for you. Ask for recommendations from people you know. Getting a reference from someone you know and trust is a great way to find a doctor. Ask friends, family members, neighbors, or coworkers if they have a doctor they like. If you are looking for a new doctor because yours is retiring or moving, ask your current doctor for a recommendation.
Check with your insurance company. If you have health insurance, you may need to choose from a list of doctors in their network (doctors that take you insurance plan). Some insurance plans may let you choose a doctor outside the network if you pay more of the cost. Call your insurance company and ask for a list of local doctors who take your insurance plan. Find out if your insurance company has a website you can use to search for a local doctor who sees people with your plan. If you don’t have health insurance, you’ll have to pay for health care out of pocket (on your own). This can be very expensive. For help finding insurance, visit www.healthcare.gov.
Learn more about your top choices. Make a list of the doctors you have in mind. Call their offices to learn more about them. The answers to the following questions may help you make the best decision.
Questions about the doctor:
n Is the doctor taking new patients?
n Is the doctor part of a group practice? Who are the other doctors?
n Who will see you if your doctor isn’t available?
n Which hospital does the doctor use?
n If you have a medical condition, does the doctor have experience treating it?
Questions about the office:
n Do they offer evening or weekend appointments?
n What is the cancellation policy?
n How long will it take to get an appointment?
n How long do appointments usually last?
n Does the doctor offer telemedicine services if needed?
n Can you get lab work and x-rays done in the office?
n If you are more comfortable speaking in a language besides English, is there a doctor or nurse who speaks that language?
Think about your experience after the first visit. Did the doctor and office staff...
n Make you feel comfortable during your appointment?
n Spend enough time with you?
n Give you a chance to ask questions?
n Answer your questions clearly?
If you answer “no” to any of these questions, you may want to keep looking.
When you choose a primary care doctor for yourself or a loved one, make sure to choose a doctor you can trust. A primary care doctor can:

n Keep your own records: Make notes of your health care visits, and what was said. You can also make notes of your prescriptions. Keep your own records, and you will know what is happening.
n Get a full copy: Before you leave any appointment, ask for a copy. From blood tests to dental records, there is no reason why you cannot have a copy of your records.
n Be organized: Organize your records so that you know where they are. Have a system in place that allows you to find them quickly.
n Keep your records safe: Make sure your records are in a safe place. You want essential records safe from damage and from theft.
n Know your rights: You own the information in the medical records—even though the health care professional owns the actual document. Realize that you have control over the information.
n Have mistakes corrected: By law, you can have misleading or incorrect information corrected. If there is a mistake in your medical records, you need to have it fixed.
n Be on the alert for identity fraud: If you discover that your identity has been stolen, make sure you check for unauthorized medical procedures in your name.
n Make sure records are updated: Try to make sure that copies of your records are updated with new information.
n Consider records for legibility: Charts can often be illegible. If something in your medical records appears sloppy or difficult to read, ask to have it clarified.
n Consider setting up an online profile: There are services like Google Health that can provide you with a way to manage your health records electronically
Turning to your doctor for every scratch or headache can be tiring and expensive. Home remedies can be an unexpected fix to an ongoing condition. Some household products have alternate uses that are as surprising as they are effective. Here are some locally grown fixes to some common ailments.
Drinking water, holding your breath and even getting scared have been attributed as cures for hiccups. When those old tricks don’t work, try swallowing a teaspoon of dry sugar. It works by distracting the vagus nerve that innervates the diaphragm. America’s only producer of certified organic sugar, Florida Crystals, is located right here in Palm Beach County.
With Florida’s pollen count, allergies are a common complaint of Floridians. When feeling congested from allergies or the common cold, try adding honey and lemon to a cup of hot water or tea. The ingredients work together to soothe the throat and rid the airways of mucus. Beekeepers are abundant in Palm Beach County and offer a variety of different honeys that would be perfect for a congestion-calming tea.
When fighting off nerves, oranges are the secret weapon. Drinking orange juice with honey and nutmeg is known to slow heart rates. It works by improving blood vessel function with an antioxidant called hesperidin, which is known to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure. Even the aroma of oranges is said to reduce anxiety. In Florida, there is no shortage of oranges. Call Palm Beach Groves (302-0345) for fresh-squeezed vitamin C delivered to your door.
Add sunburn soother to the long list of applications for milk. With so many uses, it’s no wonder this allpurpose beverage is referred to as the fruit of life. The next time you get sunburned, try using a cold compress of milk and water. The fat and protein in the milk act as an anti-inflammatory while the cold temperature reduces swelling by causing blood vessels to constrict. For some all-natural goat’s milk, check out Goodness Gracious Acres (14817 97th Road N., West Palm Beach).
Any Florida resident or past visitor can recognize the telltale signs of a sea lice attack. The agonizingly itchy red bumps can drive even the biggest beach bums away from the ocean. Don’t let those little sea creatures keep you away. The next time you get bitten by sea lice, soak a sponge with a mixture of water and either vinegar or meat tenderizer. Then, gently apply to affected areas. These acids neutralize the venom in your skin to relieve itching. Find your favorite vinegar at Oil & Vinegar in the Gardens Mall (3101 PGA Blvd., Palm Beach Gardens).
This myth leads people to believe they do not need to take supplements if they aren’t senior citizens, but people of all ages can benefit from dietary supplements. Supplements can boost immune systems, act as an anti-aging aesthetic and delay or prevent conditions such as osteoporosis or heart disease. Supplements can even give you more energy by supplying your cells with the right nutrients.
Get out your pillboxes, people, because it is time to start integrating supplements into your routine. But before you get started, you need to know how to take supplements safely. Here are some guidelines to follow when taking dietary supplements:
For people who are vegan or lactose-intolerant, calcium and other supplements can provide the necessary amounts of vital nutrients. However, a variety of supplements will not replace a healthy diet. Food gives the body a combination of vitamins and minerals that work together to promote health. Supplements cannot replicate this relationship between the nutrients found in food. Supplements are only meant to fill in the gaps in your diet. It is important to maintain a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables even when taking dietary supplements.
People think that since supplements are good for you, the more you take the better it is for your body. That idea is incorrect. Some supplements will have no greater effect if you take more than the recommended dose. In this case, taking more is a waste of money. Others have harmful effects. Keep in mind that “natural” or “organic” does not always mean “safe.” Always read the label to make sure you are only taking the recommended dose.
Never take supplements for no reason. Talk to your doctor about what supplements will make your diet well-rounded before taking what you may think you need. Also be aware of the vitamin or mineral’s unintended effects. Calcium is a popular supplement taken to prevent osteoporosis. According to Harvard Medical School, recent research studies have found substantial evidence that calcium supplements increase the risk of heart disease. Although nothing is proven, people with heart problems would be wise to stay away from calcium supplements. It is important to know what the supplement is and what it does in order to safely consume it.
Some supplements can counteract medications, which can be dangerous for people with certain conditions. Vitamin K is known to interfere with blood thinners, and calcium supplements are known to interfere with thyroid medication. Always ask a doctor before pairing a supplement with prescription medication.

The United States Polo Association purchased the core assets of the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida (“IPC”).
The USPA has acquired 161 acres from WEP Polo LLC and WEP Polo Operations LLC, including Fields 1 through 5, the IPC grandstand, the Pavilion, the Mallet Grille, the Seventh Chukker, the USPA Clubhouse shop, the Outback Field, the Outback facility, and the IPC social club and its facilities, including a swimming pool, gym and tennis courts.
The property is now The USPA National Polo Center – Wellington (“NPC”).
The purchase brings to life the USPA Board of Governors’ vision of a USPA-owned “Sunday Field” that will serve as the permanent center of polo in America and set the standard for excellence in polo. That vision was first articulated by USPA Chairman Stewart Armstrong in an essay called “The Sunday Field” that appeared in the Spring 2020 issue of Hurlingham Polo magazine. The National Polo Center (NPC) enables the United States Polo Association to showcase its tournaments, develop American players, and sustain an environment that will retain and attract new players through the promotion of excellence. First-rate facilities including five fields, the Grandstand, restaurants, clubhouse, social club, swimming pool, gym and tennis courts create the hub in Wellington, Florida for world-class equestrian competition.
Grand Champions Polo Club caters to men, women and youth polo players at all levels. Its expert staff can customize a complete playing experience including horses, pros and certified umpires in addition to lessons and practice sessions as part of its Polo On Demand program, the only polo club in the U.S. to offer the unique program.
With a mission to provide individuals opportunities in polo at every economic and ability level, Grand Champions Polo Club and Santa Rita Polo Farm’s expert staff can customize a complete playing experience including horses, professionals and certified umpires in addition to lessons and practice sessions as part of its Polo On Demand program.
Fans can watch polo live-streamed by CHUKKER TV’s state-ofthe-art technology featuring live polo and instant replays. Whether in Wellington or somewhere else wishing you were here, you can watch live polo on the CHUKKER TV Network.
The Wellington Chamber and the Wellington Chamber Equestrian Committee continue to promote and protect the economic interests of the equestrian community in Wellington. We look forward to continued growth, and we will continue to enhance and support Wellington’s equestrian community and bring its economic impact to benefit the entire Wellington community.

BY ELAINE SHUSTER
Most residents of Wellington are familiar with Wellington International, the world-renowned equestrian venue located in the Village that recently rebranded and changed its name from the former moniker of Palm Beach International Equestrian Center.
Known as one of the world’s premier destinations for equestrian enthusiasts, the venue is hot off a noteworthy 2022 Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) season, but the team behind that success is already putting into motion new and exciting plans for the 2023 winter equestrian season in Wellington in order to enhance its scope of offerings. Now owned by the Global Equestrian Group (GEG), the 2023 WEF will exhibit the first round of major changes instigated by GEG, which will be enjoyed by riders and spectators alike.
“The Winter Equestrian Festival started here in Wellington in 1974, made its home here at our facility in 1989, and has continued its unprecedented growth ever since, along with the entire Village of Wellington and Palm Beach County, to become the pinnacle of equestrian competition throughout North America and beyond,” commented Michael Stone, President of Equestrian Sport Productions, which operates Wellington International. “We take great pride in our designation as the Winter Equestrian Capital of the World and have enjoyed welcoming thousands of exhibitors and visitors each year to experience the joys and thrills of the sport. Now with the support of the Global Equestrian Group, we will be able to further expand upon that foundation to create an equestrian facility that rivals the best in the world.”
The first step in the long-term plan for the venue was to change the name and branding of the venue to represent its commitment to entering the next era. For years, the proximity and association with Palm Beach benefited the equestrian property as it aimed to attract customers and spectators that frequented the island, but the decision to remove Palm Beach from the name was a conscious one by the management team.
“When the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center was first founded, it relied on the reputation of the popular tourist destination of Palm Beach to bring participants and fans out to the horse shows,” remarked Vaneli Bojkova, Executive Vice President of Equestrian Sport Productions. “Now that the venue and community of Wellington have become their own lifestyle, sport and tourist destination not just nationally but internationally, we felt strongly that the town name should stand on its own, thus the new name of Wellington International.”
The 2022 winter season featured a particularly impactful WEF for the local community, with the total economic impact measured at $304 million, an increase of six percent and nearly $20 million from 2020. In 2022, the participants who came from outside Palm Beach County generated 195,671 room nights during the event, which attracted competitors from at least 40 states and more than 35 countries. This multitude of visitors to the
Wellington area bolstered the local economy as tourists shopped, dined and patronized local businesses.
Looking ahead to the 2023 winter festivities, the WEF team is pleased to incorporate a number of fresh elements to the hospitality offerings and equine accommodations, among other updates. While Wellington residents have come to know and love the excitement of Saturday Night Lights, the team at Wellington International is excited to unveil a new offering that is sure to be a fan favorite: Sunday Brunch. During select Sundays of WEF— weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 11—the newly named Blue Ribbon Club, previously known as The Suites, will host an elegant gathering overlooking the show jumping competition in the International Arena. Guests will be able to enjoy an extensive brunch buffet, open bar and a complimentary glass of champagne.
On the equine front, there are three new permanent barns, and four existing barns were renovated. With the construction being led by IDA Development, the original permanent barns 1-4 will include new BarnWalkers Stalls, Equitan Flooring, remodeled bathrooms and increased airflow, among other upgrades. Tents 1, 2 and C have been replaced with beautiful permanent stables to keep riders and their horses more comfortable. In total, this adds more than 100 new stalls to the total inventory, meaning more competitors can experience WEF, and additional visitors to the county will contribute to the local economy.
“We have spent the first year of our ownership of Wellington International understanding how things have been done in the past and recognizing the areas in which we can improve. These insights have helped us to formulate a grand vision for the venue, and we are thrilled to be in the early stages of our long-term plan,”
said Andreas Helgstrand, Founder and CEO of GEG. “Visitors to the 2023 Winter Equestrian Festival will notice upgrades to the permanent stabling, the hospitality spaces and the riding arenas, but these items are just the first baby steps in a much larger and more ambitious strategy.”
The full scope of the long-term plan at Wellington International won’t be fully realized for a few more years, but early reports of the construction plans are a horse lover’s dream. Proposed facility blueprints include doubling the acreage of the facility’s land, which would allow for a second equestrian center, complete with a stadium, grass derby field, and extensive amenities for guests, to be built directly beside the original property. The size and capabilities of the venues, which could be used independently of each other or as one unit, would be able to comfortably host hunter/jumper and dressage shows concurrently. Additionally, the impressive early renderings showcase modern spaces for shopping and dining, plus enhanced opportunities for hospitality offerings and VIP luxury, offering a comfortable experience for everyone, even those with no horse sense.
As the team at Wellington International looks to the future and makes plans to better serve its participants and community, they are committed to setting new standards for the venue, as well as equestrian sport, guest experiences, entertainment and innovation. Exciting changes are coming for this storied venue, and the Wellington community that supports it will be the first to experience all that the new Wellington International will have in store.
