Short-term rental permit rules in Sunrise, FL — also called Airbnb permits, vacation rental licenses, or STR registration — list the application steps, fees, and operating requirements for hosting.
Florida preempts local vacation-rental bans under Fla. Stat. §509.032(7)(b), so Sunrise cannot prohibit STRs. It runs no dedicated rental permit, but operators need a City business tax receipt and a state DBPR vacation-rental license.
Florida law bars local governments from prohibiting vacation rentals or regulating their duration or frequency under Fla. Stat. §509.032(7)(b), and Sunrise has no grandfathered pre-2011 STR ordinance. The city runs no separate short-term-rental registration program. Instead, an operator must obtain a City of Sunrise local business tax receipt under Chapter 7 of the City Code, renewed annually by September 30, and a Florida DBPR transient public lodging (vacation rental) license. The rental must also comply with the city's general noise, nuisance, and zoning codes. Guests who repeatedly violate city rules can jeopardize the operator's business tax receipt.
Operating without a City business tax receipt or a DBPR license exposes the host to code enforcement citations and state licensing penalties. DBPR licensing violations are enforced by the state; local violations run through Sunrise code enforcement.
