Miramar, FL Short-Term Rentals: Night Caps (2026)

Under F.S. 509.032(7)(b), local governments may not pass any law, ordinance, or regulation that prohibits vacation rentals or regulates their duration or frequency, and Miramar (incorporated 1955, but with no grandfathered pre-June-2011 STR ordinance restricting frequency) therefore cannot impose: minimum night stays, maximum night caps per year, blackout days, or limits on how often a unit turns over. The city's own definition treats a property as a vacation rental once it is rented more than three times per year for terms shorter than 30 days; that threshold triggers registration and DBPR licensing under F.S. 509.241 but does not cap total nights. Hosts may rent 365 days a year subject to taxes: Broward County's 6% Tourist Development Tax under F.S. 125.0104 and Miramar Code references, plus Florida's 6% state transient rental sales tax under F.S. 212.03 and Broward's 1% local discretionary surtax (capped on first $5,000) for a combined effective lodging tax of roughly 13%. Generally applicable noise (Miramar Code Chapter 17), parking, and property maintenance rules continue to apply during every stay regardless of length.
