Sunrise runs no mandatory registration or inspection program for long-term residential rentals. Florida's Live Local Act preempts most local rental mandates. Only short-term rentals under 30 days must obtain a City of Sunrise Business Tax Receipt before operating.
There is no citywide landlord-registration or rental-inspection ordinance for standard leases in Sunrise. Fla. Stat. §83.425 (Live Local Act, 2023) preempts local governments from regulating residential tenancies beyond limited health and safety matters, and a city cannot condition a lease on registration. Short-term rentals — dwelling units rented for periods under 30 days — are treated differently: the operator must obtain a City of Sunrise Business Tax Receipt and meet zoning rules before advertising, and a Broward County Local Business Tax Receipt may also apply. General property-maintenance and code-compliance standards continue to apply to all rental housing regardless of registration.
Operating a short-term rental without a City Business Tax Receipt violates the City's business-tax chapter and can trigger code-compliance action. Long-term rentals carry no registration requirement, so there is none to violate; property-maintenance codes still apply.
