Palm Beach County requires registration of certain rental properties under its Rental Housing Inspection Program. Vacation rentals must also register through the unincorporated PBC vacation rental ordinance and obtain a state DBPR license.
Palm Beach County Code Chapter 5, Article XV requires landlords of certain non-owner-occupied rentals in unincorporated areas to register. The county Tenant's Bill of Rights (Ord. 2022-026) establishes additional disclosures. Vacation rentals (under 30 days) require county registration plus a Florida DBPR Vacation Rental Dwelling license under FL §509.241. Registration fees vary by property type. Municipal jurisdictions like Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and West Palm Beach maintain separate rental registration programs.
Operating an unregistered rental: civil citations $250-$500 per violation per day. Vacation rentals operating without DBPR license: state fines up to $1,000 per offense.
