Summary
Miramar imposes no annual night cap or minimum-stay requirement on vacation rentals. Florida Statute 509.032(7)(b) preempts any local ordinance enacted on or after June 1, 2011 that regulates the duration or frequency of vacation rentals. Stays of less than 30 days remain subject to the 6% Broward Tourist Development Tax and 6% state transient rental sales tax under F.S. 125.0104 and 212.03.
(b)  A local law, ordinance, or regulation may not prohibit vacation rentals or regulate the duration or frequency of rental of vacation rentals. This paragraph does not apply to any local law, ordinance, or regulation adopted on or before June 1, 2011. (c)  Paragraph (b) does not apply to any local law, ordinance, or regulation exclusively relating to property valuation as a criterion for vacation rental if the local law, ordinance, or regulation is required to be approved by the state land planning agency pursuant to an area of critical state concern designation.
Full Breakdown
S. 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. S. 241 but does not cap total nights. S. S. 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.
Violations & Fines
Because no local cap exists, there are no per-night enforcement actions. Failure to remit Broward TDT or state sales tax on rentals under 30 days triggers a 10%/month penalty (max 50%, minimum $50) plus interest under F.S. 212.12 and 125.0104, enforceable by the Broward County Records, Taxes & Treasury Division and the Florida Department of Revenue.
