Showing ordinances that apply to Franklin Park, FL
Franklin Park is an unincorporated community (population 1,025) in Broward County, Florida. Because Franklin Park is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Broward County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The night caps rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Florida Statute 509.032 preempts local governments from regulating the duration or frequency of short-term rentals, so Broward County cannot impose minimum or maximum night caps specifically on STRs.
Under Florida Statute 509.032(7), no local law, ordinance, or regulation may prohibit vacation rentals or regulate the duration or frequency of rental of vacation rentals. This means Broward County and its municipalities cannot require a minimum number of nights per stay (no 7-night or 30-night minimums), nor cap the maximum number of rental nights per year, nor limit how often the property turns over. This preemption is what makes Florida one of the most permissive STR states in the country. Any local STR-specific duration cap is preempted and unenforceable. However, HOAs, condo associations, and deed restrictions are private contractual arrangements and are not preempted by FL 509.032; many Broward condo buildings and gated communities impose their own 30-day, 90-day, or 6-month minimum rental periods. Cities can still regulate safety, parking, noise, trash, and occupancy as neutral rules applicable to all dwellings. Pending legislation such as SB 280 has considered restoring some local flexibility but as of now the preemption on duration and frequency remains in force. Operators should verify their HOA or condo docs before listing.
