Both the owner and the management company of a Pasco County short-term rental are held jointly and severally responsible for violations, and under F.S. 125.69 each violation is punishable by a fine up to $500 and/or up to 60 days in jail, with every day of violation a separate offense.
Land Development Code Section 530.21 makes both the management company and the owner of a short-term rental responsible for compliance and holds them jointly and severally responsible for violations of the section. The ordinance's penalty provision adopts the general county-ordinance penalty in Florida Statute 125.69: every person convicted of a violation may be fined up to $500, jailed for up to 60 days, or both, and each act of violation and each day on which a violation occurs is a separate offense. Beyond fines, the Board of County Commissioners may pursue additional remedies including abatement of nuisances, injunctive relief, and revocation of licenses or permits. Grandfather rights granted under Section 1.F may be revoked upon competent substantial evidence that false information was submitted, and the sale of a grandfathered dwelling extinguishes its grandfather rights. Registration fees and fines collected for violations are deposited in a separate county account dedicated to funding additional code-compliance officers.
Each violation: up to $500 fine and/or up to 60 days in county jail under F.S. 125.69, each day a separate offense. Owner and management company are jointly and severally liable. Additional remedies include nuisance abatement, injunctive relief, and revocation of licenses or permits; grandfather rights can be revoked for false information.
