Summary of Proposed Ordinance (including public purpose to be served)
The proposed ordinance provides additional basis for suspension or revocation of a vacation
rental:
The reporting by the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO)/police department, or code compliance
department of two or more incidents in a 12 month period of misdemeanor or any felony activities
at the vacation rental property by a property owner, tenant or visitor/licensee, resulting in a police
incident report that the activities also caused a disturbance of the neighborhood will provide a basis
for suspension or revocation of a vacation rental certificate. Conviction or nolle prosecution of
the misdemeanor or felony activities of the property owner, tenant, licensee, is not needed to
support the suspension or revocation. Rather, the testimony of the officer that the misdemeanor or
felony activities resulted in a disturbance of the quiet enjoyment or safety of the neighborhood
shall be sufficient support of the city manager’s decision to suspend or revoke a vacation rental
certificate.
Estimate of Direct Economic Impact on Private For-Profit Businesses
(a) An estimate of direct compliance costs that businesses may reasonably incur;
Vacation rental properties are already subject to possible suspension or revocation for code
violations or disturbance of the neighborhood. The revision just provides clarity on the violations,
and that a misdemeanor or felony use of the property could result in suspension or revocation of
the vacation rental certificate. And, that a violation could result, if considered irreparable or a
nuisance, in a fine up to $5,000 (this is not new, but it is a clarification of the City’s Code to make
the violation more noticeable and bring it to the attention of the property owner).
(b) Any new charge or fee imposed by the proposed ordinance or for which businesses will be
financially responsible; and
No new fine or fee, but clarification of the Code.
(c) An estimate of the city’s regulatory costs, including estimated revenues from any new charges or
fees to cover such costs.
Not applicable.
