Its rental stock is a mix of single-family homes and duplexes on quiet streets east and west of Federal Highway, plus condo buildings closer to the beach and the Intracoastal. Property management in Dania Beach has to account for a five-day minimum stay for vacation rentals in homes and small buildings. Airbnb management here is about longer bookings, fewer turnovers and guests who plan ahead, such as cruise passengers adding days around a sailing. ## Where guests come from Few cities sit closer to two major transport hubs. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport borders the city, and Port Everglades lies just to the north, so guests flying in for a cruise can be at the terminal quickly. Airline crews, contractors and families visiting relatives in Broward also look for furnished homes close to the airport. The beach side is anchored by [Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park](https://www.floridastateparks.org/parks-and-trails/dr-von-d-mizell-eula-johnson-state-park), formerly John U. Lloyd Beach State Park, which sits just south of Port Everglades with an undeveloped beach and Whiskey Creek. The Dania Beach Pier and Dania Beach Ocean Park are to the south of it, and Dania Pointe, the shopping and dining district off Interstate 95, draws visitors inland. ## Dania Beach short-term rental rules The city’s rules are in [Chapter 16 of the City Code](https://library.municode.com/fl/dania_beach/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTIICOOR_CH16VARE), adopted by Ordinance 2011-017 on May 31, 2011 and amended in 2024. The chapter covers vacation rentals in single-family homes and two-, three- and four-family dwellings. It does not apply to vacation rentals inside multi-family buildings with more than four units. The headline rule is the minimum stay. Section 16-2 says no one may allow occupancy of a dwelling unit as a vacation rental for fewer than five consecutive days, and advertising a stay shorter than that is treated as a sign of a violation. Each day of renting without a certificate counts as a separate violation. Every owner needs a city business tax receipt and a vacation rental certificate for each unit, renewed annually. The application asks for proof of compliance with Florida’s lodging and tax laws and fire safety rules, a copy of the city inspection report, a floor plan and site sketch showing parking, the number of legal parking spaces, and whether pets are allowed. Units are inspected before the certificate is issued and re-inspected every year. Occupancy is capped at two persons per bedroom plus two, and never more than ten. The owner must name a vacation rental agent who lives or works in the city, answers the listed phone around the clock, can reach the property within three hours of a city call, and checks on it at least weekly. The chapter also bars using a mobile home or recreational vehicle as a rental. State law adds the DBPR license under [§509.241](https://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0500-0599%2F0509%2FSections%2F0509.241.html) for any unit rented more than three times a year for less than 30 days. ## Taxes on Dania Beach vacation rentals Stays of six months or less carry Florida’s 6% sales tax under [§212.03](https://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0200-0299%2F0212%2FSections%2F0212.03.html) and Broward County’s 1% discretionary sales surtax ([DR-15DSS](https://floridarevenue.com/Forms_library/current/dr15dss_26.pdf)). Broward County’s 6% tourist development tax ([DR-15TDT](https://floridarevenue.com/Forms_library/current/dr15tdt.pdf)) is collected by the county. ## How Florida Hosts manages Dania Beach rentals Florida Hosts helps Dania Beach owners with the city business tax receipt, the vacation rental certificate application and the state DBPR license. In Dania Beach we set calendars to the five-night minimum, keep the certificate and inspection on schedule, answer guests 24/7, and send our own cleaning and maintenance staff between stays. Short-term rental management and Airbnb management are priced at 18–25% of booking revenue, in writing. Because the city already favors longer stays, owners here can also look at mid-term furnished rentals of 30 days or more or annual leases, which we manage with licensed brokers.
