Coral Springs, FL Short-Term Rentals: Registration Rules (2026)

Coral Springs Land Development Code Section 250.160 - adopted as Ordinance 2021-107 in 2021 and amended by Ordinance 2022-109 on April 6, 2022 - establishes the citywide Vacation Rental Registration Program. A vacation rental is any dwelling rented to guests more than three times per year for periods of less than 30 days, matching FS 509.013(4)(a)1. Owners apply to the Business Tax Office and must submit a property survey, a city-approved floor plan, proof of insurance, the FY26 application form, a signed Coral Springs Police Department information-sharing agreement, and 24/7 local responsible-party contact information. Initial registration is approximately $305 plus a fire inspection fee of $170-$300 and electrical and structural inspection fees of $75 each; annual renewal is roughly $120, due before September 30. An on-site inspection for compliance with Section 250.160 must pass before the initial Certificate of Compliance is issued. The City monitors Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, FlipKey, and Tripadvisor weekly for unregistered listings. Operators must also hold a DBPR transient public lodging license under FS 509.241 and a Broward County Local Business Tax Receipt, and collect 6% Florida sales tax plus 6% Broward County Tourist Development Tax (plus 1% local-option taxes where applicable).
