Is Airbnb Legal in Hallandale Beach? What Owners Need in 2026

Short answer: yes, with a City vacation rental license. Hallandale Beach regulates vacation rentals under Ordinance 2023-003. Each unit needs its own annual license, an inspection, and a local agent who can reach the property within an hour. Condo and HOA rules can be stricter, so check those first.

Who needs a license

Each unit rented for less than 30 consecutive days needs an annual vacation rental license, filed through the City's Certificate of Use program. Licenses expire every September 30 and are renewed each year. A license does not transfer: if the property is sold, it becomes void (Sec. 7-473). (City of Hallandale Beach, Vacation Rentals, Ordinance 2023-003)

The application asks for:

• A Florida DBPR vacation rental license (DBPR guide)
• Florida Department of Revenue registration
• Broward County Tourist Development Tax registration (Broward County)
• Broward County and City business tax receipts

The City publishes a Vacation Rental Requirement Checklist to work through before you apply.

The rules that shape day-to-day operations

A local agent, on site within 60 minutes (Sec. 7-474)

The ordinance requires a rental agent reachable by landline or mobile phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, who can be present at the property within 60 minutes. For an owner who lives out of town, this is the rule that usually means hiring a local manager.

Noise device and a 911-capable landline (Sec. 7-476)

The home needs a landline phone that can call 911, with the address posted, and a noise-sensing device that notifies the agent.

Parking on the property (Sec. 7-477)

All guest parking must be contained on the property. Factor this into how many guests and cars your listing allows.

Occupancy: 2 people per sleeping room (Sec. 7-479)

The overnight limit is 2 persons per sleeping room. Up to 4 children under 13 do not count toward the limit.

Inspections (Sec. 7-481)

The City inspects the home before the first license and every year after. Violations must be corrected within 30 days.

State law and your HOA

Florida Statutes section 509.032 limits how far cities can restrict vacation rentals (Fla. Stat. 509.032). That limit does not apply to condo associations or HOAs. If your home is in a condo building or HOA community, read your declaration and rules for minimum stays and guest approval before you list.
