Coconut Creek, FL Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Parking Rules (2026)

Coconut Creek regulates vacation rental parking through Section 13-322 of the Code of Ordinances, enacted by the City Commission in Ord. No. 2021-003 and effective February 1, 2021. The section does not set a stand-alone number of required spaces. It works through three hooks. First, the findings in subsection (b) name "parking and traffic problems" and "on-street parking issues" among the reasons the City Commission regulates rentals in residential neighborhoods. Second, the registration application under subsection (e)(1) must include a detailed exterior site plan identifying property lines, parking spaces, pools, spas, hot tubs, garbage can storage areas and fences, so the city sees where guests are expected to park before it issues a certificate. Third, subsection (h)(3) puts a duty on the owner and the designated responsible party, "individually and collectively," to inform every guest in writing before occupancy of the city ordinances on noise, vehicle parking, garbage and common area usage, and to ensure at all times that all vehicles associated with the rental are parked in compliance with the City Code of Ordinances.

The responsible party must be reachable by phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and must be willing to come to the unit within two hours after a call from an occupant, the owner or the city. Owners and responsible parties also inspect the property monthly and hand the inspection reports to the director of sustainable development on request. Each unit is limited to one family as defined in section 13-295 of the land development code, which ties the vehicle count to a single household. Registration certificates are specific to one property and expire on September 30 each year. Section 13-322(a)(7) states that the ordinance does not prohibit vacation rentals or regulate their duration or frequency.
