ADUs rented long-term (30+ days) in Hollywood face no zoning-based restrictions beyond ordinary residential standards. Short-term rentals (under 30 days) fall under Florida Statute Β§509.032(7), which preempts outright local STR bans, and under Hollywood's local STR ordinance requiring an annual permit of approximately $250-$500. Broward County 6% Tourist Development Tax plus Florida state 6% sales tax = 12% combined transient tax.
Hollywood has a two-tier ADU rental framework that reflects its dual character as a residential city and a beach tourist destination. Long-term rentals (30+ days): permitted in zoning districts where ADUs themselves are allowed. The unit must comply with the Florida Building Code, Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (FL Chapter 83 Part II), and applicable Broward County rental rules β there is no separate City of Hollywood long-term rental license requirement for ADUs. Short-term rentals (under 30 days): regulated within the limits of FL Statute Β§509.032(7), which preempts local governments from outright prohibiting short-term rentals or treating them differently from other residential uses, but expressly permits municipalities to impose reasonable registration, inspection, and tax-collection requirements. Hollywood operates a local STR ordinance requiring an annual city permit (approximately $250-$500 depending on unit type and year of grandfathering), safety inspection, posted occupancy limits, posted local contact, and minimum parking. Operators must collect Florida 6% sales tax under FL Β§212.03 (transient rentals) and the Broward County 6% Tourist Development Tax under Broward County Code β 12% combined. Operators must register with the Florida Department of Revenue and the Broward County Tax Collector, and must obtain a Florida DBPR Vacation Rental license under FL Β§509.241. Hollywood Beach STR enforcement is particularly active due to dense seasonal demand on the barrier island.
Operating an STR without the Hollywood city permit: daily code-enforcement fines, lien against the property, suspension of future permit. Failure to collect Tourist Development Tax: Broward County Tax Collector enforcement plus state Department of Revenue penalties and interest. Operating without DBPR license: state administrative fines.
