Under Hollywood's Chapter 119 Vacation Rental License Program, a vacation rental is defined as any dwelling unit to be occupied as the residence of not more than one family, or a transient lodging establishment renting for periods under 30 consecutive days more than three times annually. The license application requires a building sketch (may be hand-drawn) showing the floor layout by floor, identifying all bedrooms, bathrooms, exits, hallways, stairways, and safety equipment locations. The number of bedrooms determines occupancy capacity. Each property requires a separate license. Photos of all bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen must be submitted with the application.
Exceeding occupancy limits based on the licensed floor plan is a violation of the vacation rental license conditions. The license may be suspended or revoked.
