Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Broward County, FL

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Broward County, FL because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No county-level short-term rental (STR) regulatory program or county STR permit exists; Broward County only administers tourist development tax for rentals under six months. STR rules, including zoning limits, occupancy caps, and 24-hour contact requirements, are set and enforced at the municipal level by individual cities. Operators should still verify HOA rules, state-level requirements, and any tax-collection obligations. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements. Last verified 2026-05-14.
