Short-Term Rentals in Coral Springs, FL

Coral Springs maintains 70 local ordinances across all categories, and 3 of those deal specifically with short-term rentals. Here is a breakdown of what the city actually requires, what is prohibited, and where Coral Springs falls on the strict-to-permissive spectrum compared to other cities.

Night Caps

Coral Springs does not cap the number of nights, length of stay, or frequency of vacation rental bookings. Florida Statute 509.032(7)(b) preempts any city ordinance enacted after June 1, 2011 from regulating the duration or frequency of rentals; Coral Springs adopted its program in 2021 (Ord. 2021-107), so no local night cap can apply.

Key details: Local Night Cap: None - state preempted. State Preemption: Fla. Stat. 509.032(7)(b). Grandfather Date: June 1, 2011 (Coral Springs program is later). Coral Springs Ordinance: Ord. 2021-107 (adopted 2021); amended Ord. 2022-109. Vacation Rental Definition: >3 rentals/year, <30 days each (FS 509.013).

There are no city penalties for the number or length of legally registered rentals. State preemption (FS 509.032) blocks any duration or frequency cap. Failure to collect and remit Florida sales tax or Broward County Tourist Development Tax remains a separate state and county violation enforceable by the Department of Revenue and the Broward Tax Collector.

Coral Springs is more permissive than most cities when it comes to night caps. That said, there are still limits.

Occupancy Limits

Coral Springs limits vacation rental occupancy to a maximum of 16 registered guests under Ordinance 2022-109 (LDC Section 250160). No more than 3 unregistered guests are allowed, and unregistered guests are prohibited on the property after 10 PM Sunday-Thursday and 11 PM Friday-Saturday.

Key details: Code Section: LDC Sec. 250160. Max Registered Guests: 16. Unregistered Guest Limit: 3 max. Unregistered Curfew: 10 PM weeknights / 11 PM weekends.

Progressive penalty system: second violation triggers 30-day license suspension; fourth violation triggers 365-day suspension; additional violations add 30 days each. Daily fines of $250 or more. The city monitors listings weekly across major platforms.
