Records show that the fixed wing single-engine plane is registered to Stone to Glass LLC in Lake Worth.
Miami Herald news partner CBS4 reported that the plane was six miles northwest of Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport when it attempted to land on a road and skidded into the Everglades.
The station said no one was injured in the accident.
Earlier this month, there were two small plane crashes in Miami-Dade, both linked to Dean International Flight School in Miami.
