Fort Lauderdale requires rental property owners to register with the city's Code Compliance division, providing contact information for code violation and emergency notifications. Vacation rentals have separate, more detailed registration requirements under Article X.
Fort Lauderdale has enacted an ordinance requiring property owners to register their rental properties with the Code Compliance division. Registration requires providing a phone number and email address that the city uses to contact property owners regarding code violations or emergencies. This is distinct from the vacation rental registration program under Article X of Chapter 15, which has significantly more detailed requirements including safety inspections and noise monitoring devices. Standard long-term rental properties must comply with all building code, fire safety, and property maintenance standards. The city's Code Enforcement Division conducts inspections when complaints are filed about rental property conditions.
Failure to register rental properties may result in code enforcement action. Properties found in violation of building, fire, or maintenance codes during inspections face enforcement through the Special Magistrate process.
