Pompano Beach
Licensing and Compliance
$199
plus city, county and state fees at cost, about $1,000 in the first year and roughly half that to renew
Renting a home short term in Pompano Beach is not one licence. It is ten separate things across four agencies, and most of them have to be finished before the city will even look at your application.
- A lodging licence from the state
- A sales tax account with the Florida Department of Revenue, in your name, listing the property
- A tourist tax account with Broward County
- A Broward County business tax receipt
- A City of Pompano Beach business tax receipt
- A lien search proving no code violations on any property you own in the city
- A site plan drawing showing parking, pool, hot tub, fences and where the bins live
- A floor plan drawing showing every bedroom, every exit and every fire extinguisher
- Your lease agreement
- Two notarised affidavits, signed by every owner
Then the city inspects the property, by appointment with your 24 hour contact.
That contact has to live within 25 miles of the property, be reachable at any hour, and sign a notarised affidavit taking responsibility for it. If you do not live nearby, this is the part you cannot do yourself.
Two things nobody warns you about. The permit expires on September 30 every year no matter when you got it, so applying in August means renewing six weeks later at full price. And it does not transfer, so a buyer starts the whole thing over.
We prepare and file all of it, produce the drawings, arrange the notary, and get the property ready for its inspection. You pay the government fees directly at cost. We do not mark them up and you see every receipt.
