Hands-on management for pool homes, waterfront homes and condos across Broward County, from Hollywood to Fort Lauderdale. One local team. One management fee.
Broward County runs from Hallandale Beach and Hollywood in the south to Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors and Oakland Park in the north. Guests come for the beaches, the Intracoastal and easy access to two airports, and many look for a private pool home with room for everyone.
Each city sets its own vacation rental rules on top of the state license and county tax registration. We help owners line up the right registrations for their city, then run the home day to day: guests, cleaning, maintenance and pricing.
One local team runs the whole operation, with clear terms and full monthly owner statements.
Florida allows vacation rentals statewide. Under Florida Statutes section 509.032(7)(b), local laws may not prohibit vacation rentals or regulate how long or how often they are rented, unless the rule was adopted on or before June 1, 2011. Cities can still require registration, inspections, occupancy limits and a local contact, so the details depend on where your home is. Source: Fla. Stat. 509.032.
State and county. Every Broward vacation rental needs a Florida vacation rental license from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR guide) and must register for and remit Broward County Tourist Development Tax (Broward County).
Hollywood. Hollywood requires a City Vacation Rental License before guests arrive. The home is inspected before the license is issued and before each renewal (Section 119.15), the contact phone must be answered 24/7 and someone must be able to reach the property within 60 minutes of notification (Section 119.20), and licenses run through September 30 (Hollywood code). City page: City of Hollywood, Vacation Rental License. Our guide: Hollywood.
Fort Lauderdale. Fort Lauderdale requires vacation rental registration and a Certificate of Compliance issued after an inspection. State and county registrations come first, occupancy is 2 people per legal bedroom as verified by the inspector, and registrations expire September 30, with renewals due by August 1. Sources: Property Registration, Registration Renewal. Our guide: Fort Lauderdale.
Wilton Manors. In Wilton Manors it is unlawful to advertise, promote or operate a vacation rental before it is registered and has a certificate of compliance. The manager must respond to emergencies within 1 hour, parking is limited to 1 vehicle per bedroom with no parking on the grass, and registrations expire September 30. Source: City of Wilton Manors, Vacation Rentals. Our guide: Wilton Manors.
Oakland Park. Oakland Park requires a short-term rental to be registered before it operates, with renewal before January 1 each year. An agent must be available 24/7, the home needs a landline phone that can dial 911, and occupancy is capped at 2 people per bedroom and 8 in total, posted on the property. Source: City of Oakland Park, Short-Term Rentals. Our guide: Oakland Park.
Hallandale Beach. Hallandale Beach licenses vacation rentals through its Certificate of Use program under Ordinance 2023-003, and licenses expire September 30. The ordinance requires an agent reachable 24/7 who can be on site within 60 minutes (Sec. 7-474), guest parking on the property (Sec. 7-477) and an occupancy limit (Sec. 7-479). Sources: City of Hallandale Beach, Vacation Rentals, Ordinance 2023-003.
Dania Beach. Dania Beach requires a city business tax receipt and an annual vacation rental certificate for each unit, with a city inspection. The city code sets a minimum stay of 5 consecutive days for vacation rentals in 1 to 4 family dwellings, and licenses expire September 30, with renewal by October 31. Sources: Dania Beach Code Sec. 16-2, City of Dania Beach, Vacation Rentals.
Unincorporated Broward. The county landlord registration program for unincorporated Broward excludes public lodging establishments as defined in Florida Statutes section 509.013 (Broward County Code Sec. 39-421). The state license and county tourist tax still apply.
Other Broward cities. Other cities, such as Pembroke Pines, set their own requirements. Pembroke Pines asks new businesses for a Certificate of Use before a local business tax receipt (City of Pembroke Pines, Certificate of Use), so ask the City how this applies to a rental home. Condo and HOA rules can be stricter than city rules, so check your association documents too.

Yes. Florida law allows vacation rentals, and cities may not ban them or limit how long or how often they are rented unless the rule was adopted on or before June 1, 2011. Each city can still require registration, inspections, occupancy limits and a local contact, so the rules depend on where your home is. Check your condo or HOA documents too, since they can be stricter.
At minimum, a Florida DBPR vacation rental license and Broward County Tourist Development Tax registration. Most cities add their own: a City Vacation Rental License in Hollywood, a registration and Certificate of Compliance in Fort Lauderdale, a city registration in Wilton Manors and Oakland Park, a license through the Certificate of Use program in Hallandale Beach, and a business tax receipt plus an annual vacation rental certificate in Dania Beach.
Not through its landlord registration program. In unincorporated Broward, that program excludes public lodging establishments as defined in Florida Statutes section 509.013 (Broward County Code Sec. 39-421). The state license and county tourist tax still apply, and each city runs its own program.
One simple management fee: 20% of rental income, excluding taxes, cleaning, and channel fees.
One year, with 60 days’ notice to leave.
