Miramar, FL Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Permits (2026)

2 requires every bed and breakfast, short-term rental or vacation rental to obtain a city-issued zoning certificate of use and a business tax receipt, plus proof of licensure with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation for a transient public lodging establishment. Units must pass inspection to meet Florida Building Code, Fair Housing law, and minimum construction, design, health and maintenance standards, and must carry commercial general liability insurance covering premises operations, personal injury, and property damage, with policy copies presented to the city on demand.

A working smoke and carbon monoxide detector is required, off-property signage advertising the rental is banned, and sufficient on-site parking must be available since guests cannot park on neighboring properties, in common areas, or on the street. 2 imposes an annual renewal: a vacation rental must be registered with the police department every year on or before September 30. Owners must also post, inside the unit, a summary of these rules including a notice of the city's noise ordinance, a parking-space sketch, trash pickup days and times, the nearest hospital, the non-emergency police number, and a building evacuation map by each bedroom door.

Non-compliance triggers escalating suspensions of the certificate of use, thirty days for a second violation, 180 days for a third, 365 days for a fourth, and thirty additional days per further violation, plus a daily fine of up to $1,000 for operating during a suspension, enforced by the Code Compliance Division of the police department with appeals to the Special Magistrate.
