Full Breakdown
08(D)(2) sets the nonrefundable application fee at $675 for a single-family home or duplex and $750 for a triplex or quadplex, with a $375 fee to renew annually. 08(C), and must be renewed before expiration to avoid a lapse. 08(C) imposes "a delinquency penalty equal to 25 percent of the renewal permit fee for the unit," charged the following January 1; during delinquency the permit is inactive and no rental activity may occur. 08(E)(2). 11(C): a $50 "no show" fee if the 24-hour contact person misses a scheduled inspection, and a $50 "admittance denied" fee if the inspector is refused entry.
08(H)(1)(c)-(f) condition the permit on the owner keeping current with Broward County's Tourist Development Tax and state sales tax and DBPR licensing requirements, but those taxes are collected by the county and state, not the city.
Violations & Fines
Failing to pay the renewal fee on time doesn't just cost the 25% delinquency penalty: § 153.08(C) makes the permit inactive during delinquency, so no rental activity may lawfully occur, and a permit left unrenewed for a full year past its term cannot simply be renewed; the owner must reapply from scratch.
