Hollywood, FL Short-Term Rentals: Taxes & Fees (2026)

11(A) requires every initial application, renewal, or modification of a vacation rental license to include an application fee set by resolution of the City Commission rather than a fixed dollar figure printed in the ordinance. 11(B)(4) requires a current Florida Department of Revenue certificate of registration for collecting and remitting sales surtaxes and transient rental taxes. 11(B)(5) requires an active Broward County Tax Collector account for tourist development taxes, or, alternatively, a written statement that the vacation rental representative will remit local Broward County business and tourist development taxes through the peer-to-peer or platform entity used for bookings; the representative must list every platform used and update the city on changes.

If a listed platform fails to remit those taxes, the representative must promptly open and maintain its own Broward County Tax Collector account. 11(B)(6)-(7) further requires active City of Hollywood and Broward County local business tax receipts for both the property owner and, if different, the vacation rental representative. 14: owners may renew starting July 1 before the annual license expires, applications received after July 1 run through September 30 of the following year, and any renewal received after September 30 draws a late fee set by City Commission resolution.
