Where we manage in and around Broward County
Each Broward County city brings its own demand profile and guest mix. Pick yours for its own rules, taxes and guests.
Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale lets owners run vacation rentals, but only with a city certificate of compliance, an inspection every year and a responsible party who can reach the house within an hour.
ExploreHollywood
Hollywood licenses every vacation rental through its own program, with a noise monitor, an inspection and a 30-minute window to resolve most neighbor complaints.
ExplorePompano Beach
Pompano Beach treats any rental of six months or less as a short-term rental, so even a three-month winter lease on a house or duplex needs the city's annual permit.

ExploreLocal vs. national
The Broward County advantage: local knowledge at every level
A national platform prices Broward County from a spreadsheet and sends whoever is free to turn the unit. We work it address by address: which city or county code applies, which tax accounts the stay needs, and our own cleaning and maintenance staff on every turnover, with guests able to reach us 24/7.

Broward County STR management — FAQs
What tourist tax applies to vacation rentals in Broward County?
Broward County levies a 6% tourist development tax on rentals of six months or less, and DOR form DR-15TDT lists it as collected by the county rather than the state. Guests also pay Florida’s 6% sales tax and Broward’s 1% discretionary sales surtax, which DOR form DR-15DSS lists through 2048.
Does Broward County have one short-term rental permit for the whole county?
No. Each city runs its own program, and the requirements differ: Fort Lauderdale issues certificates of compliance, Hollywood and Hallandale Beach issue vacation rental licenses, Pompano Beach issues short-term rental permits and Deerfield Beach registers rentals. City applications generally require proof of a Broward County business tax receipt and a Broward County tourist development tax account.
Which Broward cities set a minimum stay for vacation rentals?
Dania Beach prohibits vacation rentals of fewer than five consecutive days in single-family homes and two- to four-unit buildings. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea requires at least seven consecutive days in single-family homes and townhouses, with no minimum for duplexes and three- or four-unit buildings. Pompano Beach does not set a minimum, but its permit covers every rental of six months or less.
