All Delray Beach vacation rentals must register annually, pass a life-safety inspection, pay the registration fee, and post the registration number in every listing. Registration numbers begin with DB-VR- and must appear on Airbnb/Vrbo listings.
Delray Beach created a dedicated Vacation Rental Program under Code Ch. 118 modeled on the post-SB 280 framework. Applicants submit ownership proof, DBPR license number, insurance certificate, floor plan, parking plan, 24/7 contact, and pay a fee (~500 dollars initial, ~250 dollars renewal). A Community Improvement inspector verifies smoke/CO detectors, fire extinguishers, egress, pool barriers, and posted occupancy. Listings missing the DB-VR- number are subject to takedown requests to platforms.
Unregistered advertising: 500 dollars per listing per day. Missing registration number on a listing: 250 dollars.
