Summary
Pompano Beach revokes short-term rental permits on a two-strike rule. Under § 153.08(H)(1)(i), if the Special Magistrate finds an owner or Local Designated Representative responsible for two or more code violations tied to the rental, including parking, noise, or garbage, within any 90-day period, the Development Services Director can pull the permit outright.
The property owner or Local Designated Representative has been found by the Special Magistrate, pursuant to Chapter 37, City Code of Ordinances, to have two or more code violations related to the short term rental including, but not limited to, off-street parking, unlawful noise and garbage, within a ninety (90) day period.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: 2026 S-122: Supplement contains: Local legislation current through 2026-35, passed 7-29-26).
Full Breakdown
08(G)(3) denies any application where the owner has racked up two or more code violations, or shows evidence of present or recurring nuisance activity, within 90 days. 08(H)(2) lets the owner appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals, except that revocations grounded in subsections (b) and (g) through (i), which includes the repeat-violation strike, go instead to the Special Magistrate under Chapter 37. The owner must file a written notice of appeal with the Department of Development Services within 10 days of the revocation notice, and a timely appeal holds the revocation in abeyance until it is decided. 08(I)(7) prohibits any occupancy or advertising of the property as a short-term rental during the entire revocation period.
Violations & Fines
A second qualifying code violation within 90 days, whether for parking, noise, garbage, or another Rental Housing Code standard, triggers revocation of the permit by the Development Services Director. Renting out or advertising the property as a short-term rental while revoked is itself a separate Code violation, and a revoked owner forfeits the unexpired portion of the annual permit fee entirely.
