Fort Lauderdale, FL ## Why Fort Lauderdale — and what it means for your property 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. Fort Lauderdale sits in **Broward County**, which sets much of the regulatory and tax picture for property here. We track those rules per address rather than per city, because they rarely stop neatly at a city line. ### What stands out about Fort Lauderdale - City vacation rental certificate of compliance, renewed by September 30 - Annual inspection and two overnight guests per sleeping room - Noise-level detection device required in every vacation rental - Port Everglades cruise traffic and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport - Broward County's 6% tourist development tax, collected by the county ## How short-term rental management works in Fort Lauderdale ### What short-term rental management actually covers Short-term rental management means someone else runs the business your home has become: the listing, the price of every night, every guest message, every turnover, every repair and every statement. Done properly it is a full-time operation — which is exactly why most owners hand it over. We have hosted short-term rentals since 2016 and manage 350+ homes across Florida. Cleaning and maintenance are done by our own staff, not a rotating list of strangers, and guest communication runs around the clock. ### Pricing every night, not once a season Florida demand moves with snowbird season, spring break, school holidays, festivals, race weeks and summer on the Gulf and the Panhandle. A rate set once leaves money behind on the busy nights and empty nights in the quiet weeks. We review your calendar daily and price each night around real demand, the competing homes near you and the events coming up — then check the result in your monthly statement. ### What short-term rental management looks like in Fort Lauderdale specifically Short-term rental management in Fort Lauderdale is built around the city’s certificate of compliance. Chapter 15, Article X of the City Code makes it unlawful to rent or advertise a one- to four-family house or dwelling unit as a vacation rental without one, and a listing for less than 30 days counts as direct evidence of a violation. Certificates expire every September 30, with renewal applications due 60 days earlier, and the city inspects every unit before the first certificate and again each year. The day-to-day standards are specific. Overnight guests are limited to two per sleeping room, gatherings to one and a half times that figure and never more than 20 people, and every vehicle must park in the driveway. Each home needs a noise-level detection device that keeps its data for 180 days, and the responsible party must answer the phone around the clock and be able to reach the property within one hour. We run that role ourselves, which is why our turnover checks double as the end-of-stay inspection the code requires. Want the whole property handled, not just short-term rental management?

Yes, with a city registration. Chapter 15, Article X of the City Code makes it unlawful to rent or advertise a one- to four-family house or dwelling unit as a vacation rental unless it is registered and holds a city certificate of compliance. The city's program page says condominiums advertised for 30 days or less must register too. Before applying you need the state DBPR license, a Department of Revenue registration, a Broward County business tax receipt and a Broward County tourist development tax account. What taxes apply to short-term rentals in Fort Lauderdale? Florida's 6% sales tax on rentals of six months or less (§212.03), Broward County's 1% discretionary sales surtax (DOR form DR-15DSS, 2026) and Broward County's 6% tourist development tax, which DOR form DR-15TDT lists as collected by the county rather than the state. How many guests can stay in a Fort Lauderdale vacation rental? City Code §15-278 limits overnight guests to two persons per sleeping room, with the number of sleeping rooms confirmed by a city inspector. Gatherings are capped at one and a half times the overnight limit and never more than 20 people, and up to four children under 13 do not count toward either limit. ## Other services in Fort Lauderdale - [Airbnb Management in Fort Lauderdale](/services/airbnb-management/fort-lauderdale/) - [Mid-Term Rental Management in Fort Lauderdale](/services/mid-term-rental-management/fort-lauderdale/) - [Long-Term Rental Management](/services/long-term-rental-management/) - [Short-term rental management in Fort Lauderdale](/fort-lauderdale/) ## Short-Term Rental Management nearby [Gainesville](/services/short-term-rental-management/gainesville/) [Hollywood](/services/short-term-rental-management/hollywood/) [Islamorada](/services/short-term-rental-management/islamorada/) [Jacksonville](/services/short-term-rental-management/jacksonville/) [Key West](/services/short-term-rental-management/key-west/) [Kissimmee](/services/short-term-rental-management/kissimmee/) [Miami](/services/short-term-rental-management/miami/) [Miami Beach](/services/short-term-rental-management/miami-beach/) [Naples](/services/short-term-rental-management/naples/) [New Smyrna Beach](/services/short-term-rental-management/new-smyrna-beach/) [Ocala](/services/short-term-rental-management/ocala/) [Orlando](/services/short-term-rental-management/orlando/) ## Get a free projection for your Fort Lauderdale property No obligation, no pressure — just the numbers, from a local team that manages here.
