Full Breakdown

3 targets multi-unit residential rental ownership rather than single rental homes. Anyone holding an ownership interest in two or more residential rental units within the city must retain a local agent responsible for the smooth operation and upkeep of those units; the agent can be the owner personally, provided the owner regularly resides within Broward County, or an occupant of one of the units. When those two-or-more units sit in the same building or complex, subsection (b) adds a posting duty: a professionally lettered 8-inch-by-10-inch sign must go on the building's front, or at the rental or leasing office, in a spot where trees, shrubs, hedges or ground cover cannot obstruct visibility.

The sign must list the name, address and phone number of every owner with an interest, or the name, address and phone number of the local agent instead. Subsection (c) sets material and legibility rules: the sign must be decorative wood, plastic or metal, limited to one color each for background, letter faces and letterboxes, with white and the building's own color both counting as colors when used as background, and lettering between 1 and 3 inches tall, all consistent with the city's Architectural Guidelines.

If ownership of the property transfers, subsection (d) gives the new owner 30 calendar days from the transfer to bring the signage into compliance. The requirement gives tenants, neighbors and code officers a fast way to identify who is accountable for a rental building's condition without tracking an owner through county property records.

Violations & Fines

Section 8-20.3 sits inside Chapter 8's property-maintenance article and is enforced through the same notice-and-correction chain as the rest of that article: a Section 8-21 notice of violation gives the owner 15 calendar days to post the required sign or retain a local agent. Section 1-8.1(d)(89)'s $50 catch-all civil penalty applies because Section 8-20.3 carries no separately listed fine amount in the city's penalty schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every Coral Springs landlord need to post a sign?
No. Section 8-20.3 only applies to owners with an interest in two or more residential rental units located in the same building or complex. A single rental house or duplex under one owner is not covered; the sign and local-agent duties trigger only once ownership spans multiple units clustered together in one building or complex.
What must the Coral Springs rental sign say?
Under Section 8-20.3(b), the sign must list the names, addresses and phone numbers of everyone with an ownership interest in the units, or, if the owner uses one, the name, address and phone number of the local agent instead. It must sit where landscaping cannot obscure it, on the building's front or at the leasing office.
Who counts as the required local agent?
Section 8-20.3(a) lets the agent be the owner personally, but only if that owner regularly resides within Broward County, or it can be an occupant of one of the rental units. The agent's job is overseeing the smooth operation and upkeep of the units, giving tenants and code officers a reachable point of contact.
