Pasco County Ordinance 99-21 requires every short-term rental to post a 'Notice to Occupant' on the back of the main entrance door warning guests that creating noise at a level or duration that unreasonably interferes with neighbors' enjoyment of their property is unlawful in Pasco County, along with rules on trash, pets, and clothing.
Land Development Code Section 530.21 requires a notice in at least twelve-point font, headed 'Notice to Occupant,' to be posted on the back of the main entrance/exit door of each short-term rental advising guests that the unit is in a residential community and to be considerate of neighbors. Among the listed local laws, the notice states that it is unlawful in Pasco County to create noise at such a level or for such a duration that the noise unreasonably interferes with neighbors' comfortable enjoyment of their property. The notice also covers trash storage and twice-weekly disposal, that pets may not roam free and owners must clean up after them, and minimum clothing requirements when guests are visible to the public or neighbors. The notice may be made more stringent where homeowners-association restrictions or owner restrictions are stricter, but added restrictions may not infringe on civil rights guaranteed by the U.S. or Florida Constitutions. Each unit must also keep an operable telephone marked 'In Case of Emergency Dial 911.'
Failure to post the required occupant notice, or noise that unreasonably interferes with neighbors, violates LDC Section 530.21. Owner and management company are jointly and severally liable; under F.S. 125.69 each violation carries a fine up to $500 and/or up to 60 days in jail, each day a separate offense.
