Under Miami-Dade Chapter 8CC, repeat short-term-rental violations trigger escalating civil fines and potential revocation of the property's STR registration, with each subsequent offense carrying multiplied penalties up to several thousand dollars per occurrence.
Miami-Dade's civil-penalty schedule in Chapter 8CC pairs with Ord. 14-77 to discipline problem STRs. First offenses for unregistered operation, occupancy violations, or noise complaints typically incur fines starting around $500. Second offenses within 12 months double, and third or subsequent offenses can reach $5,000 per incident plus revocation of the use registration. Florida HB 1011 (2024) reinforced county authority to suspend platform listings and impose responsible-party requirements after repeated complaints. Code Compliance officers track violations by parcel, not by host name, preventing LLC swaps from resetting the counter.
Three or more validated complaints within 12 months can revoke the STR registration and prohibit re-registration for the parcel for a defined cooling-off period.
