Miramar Short-Term Rentals: Registration Rules Rules (2026)

Operators of dwellings rented more than three times per year for terms of less than 30 days (or one calendar month) qualify as vacation rentals in Miramar. Hosts must (1) apply for a City of Miramar Business Tax Receipt through the BTR Office (954-602-3061) under Code of Ordinances Chapter 21 (Taxation), (2) register the property with the Miramar Police Department on the Bed & Breakfast, Short-Term Rentals, and Vacation Rentals application, providing a Florida driver's license or state ID, and (3) obtain a zoning certificate of use confirming the underlying single-family or multifamily zoning permits the use under the Land Development Code. State law layered on top: F.S. 509.241 requires a Division of Hotels and Restaurants vacation rental dwelling/condo license from DBPR, with annual renewal and a $50 base fee plus per-unit charges. F.S. 509.032(7)(b) preempts any local ordinance adopted on or after June 1, 2011 that prohibits vacation rentals or regulates the duration or frequency of rentals, so Miramar cannot impose night caps or outright bans, but it may continue to require registration, BTRs, inspections, parking, noise, and tax compliance under generally applicable codes. BTRs renew annually by September 30. Confirm specifics with Miramar Building, Planning & Zoning at (954) 602-3264.
