Miramar, FL Short-Term Rentals: Repeat Violator Strikes (2026)

2 sets a tiered suspension schedule for the vacation rental zoning certificate of use once a property racks up repeat violations of the section. A second violation triggers a thirty-day suspension, a third triggers one hundred eighty days, and a fourth triggers three hundred sixty-five days; every violation after that adds another thirty days, so the code gives the example of a fifth violation running three hundred ninety-five days and a sixth running four hundred fifteen days. Separately, a certificate is subject to temporary suspension beginning five working days after a citation for a Florida Building Code or Florida Fire Prevention Code violation, lasting until the city reinspects and confirms the violation is resolved.

During any suspension the property cannot host paying guests at all, the suspension starts either at the end of the current lease or within thirty days, whichever is sooner, and operating during a suspension draws a daily fine of up to $1,000 or the maximum allowed under Florida Statutes for repeat violations. A suspended address cannot get a new certificate issued to the same owners, or entities they control, for the rest of the license year (which begins October 1) or six months, whichever is longer. Appeals of a suspension go to the Special Magistrate.
