Night Caps: Coral Springs vs Fort Lauderdale

Does Coral Springs limit how many nights a year I can rent on Airbnb?

No. Florida Statute 509.032(7)(b) preempts cities from regulating the duration or frequency of vacation rentals unless the local ordinance was in place on or before June 1, 2011. Coral Springs first adopted its vacation rental program through Ordinance 2021-107 in 2021, well after the grandfather date, so the City cannot cap rental nights, bookings per year, or set a minimum stay length. Annual registration under LDC Section 250.160, occupancy limits, the unregistered-guest curfew, and life-safety rules still apply.

Is there a minimum stay for vacation rentals in Coral Springs?

No City minimum. Because the Coral Springs vacation rental ordinance is post-2011, FS 509.032(7)(b) preempts any City-imposed minimum stay. Single-night stays are legal as long as the unit holds a current Coral Springs Certificate of Compliance under LDC 250.160, a DBPR license under FS 509.241, a Broward County Local Business Tax Receipt, and the operator collects 6% Florida sales tax plus 6% Broward Tourist Development Tax.

Can my HOA still cap rentals in Coral Springs?

Yes. State preemption only restricts city and county ordinances. Private deed restrictions, condominium declarations, and homeowner association covenants are not preempted by Florida Statute 509.032. Many gated communities and condo associations in Coral Springs impose minimum lease terms (often 30 days, 90 days, six months, or one year) and rental-frequency caps, and these are enforceable as a private contract regardless of City rules.

Does Fort Lauderdale limit how many nights a year I can rent my home on Airbnb?

No. Florida Statute 509.032(7)(b) preempts cities from regulating the duration or frequency of vacation rentals unless the local ordinance was in place on or before June 1, 2011. Fort Lauderdale's vacation rental ordinance (C-15-29) was adopted August 18, 2015 and took effect November 1, 2015, so the City cannot cap the number of rental nights, the number of bookings per year, or set a minimum stay length. Annual registration, the 25-mile Responsible Party, and life-safety standards still apply.

Is there a minimum stay for vacation rentals in Fort Lauderdale?

No City minimum. Because Fort Lauderdale's vacation rental ordinance is post-2011, FS 509.032(7)(b) preempts any City-imposed minimum stay. Single-night stays are legal as long as the unit is registered under Code Article X and the operator holds the required DBPR license, Department of Revenue certificate, Broward County Local Business Tax Receipt, and Broward Tourist Development Tax account.

Can my HOA or condo association still cap rentals?

Yes. State preemption only restricts city and county ordinances. Private deed restrictions, condominium declarations, and HOA covenants are not preempted by Florida Statute 509.032. Many Fort Lauderdale beachside condos and gated communities impose minimum lease terms (often 30 days, 90 days, or more) and rental-frequency caps that are enforceable as a private contract regardless of City rules.
