Full Breakdown
Land Development Code Sec. 14 governs short-term vacation rentals of single-family and two-family dwellings in unincorporated Flagler County (it excludes multi-family buildings of three or more units and owner-occupied homes). Subsection I requires the owner to post, on the back of or next to the main entrance door or on the refrigerator, a single page carrying several mandatory notices. ' That posting sits alongside required notice of the responsible party's contact information, maximum occupancy, the maximum number of vehicles with a parking-space sketch, trash and recycling pickup days, sea turtle lighting restrictions on the barrier island, and the nearest hospital.
11 separately requires every short-term vacation rental to comply with 'any other standards contained within the Flagler County Land Development Code to include but not be limited to: noise, setbacks, stormwater, and similar provisions,' tying the rental use back to the county's general Sec. 22-55 sound-level table. 5, and failing to post or observe the notice is enforced as a violation of Sec. 14 under the progressive citation program in subsection K.
Violations & Fines
Failing to post the required quiet-hours notice, or letting a rental run louder than the posted hours, is a violation of Sec. 3.06.14 subject to the progressive program in subsection K: a written warning for a first offense, then civil citations set by county resolution for repeat violations, pursued under Florida Statutes Chapter 162. The county may also refer chronic violations to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation or move to revoke the property's Short-Term Vacation Rental Certificate.
