Vacation Rentals
Background
The Vacation Rental Registration Program regulates vacation rentals as defined in Section 509.242 of the Florida Statutes. Through the administration and enforcement of the Vacation Rental Registration Program, the City ensures that each vacation rental property meets minimum housing and life safety standards outlined in Article V - Vacation Rental, of Chapter 10 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Indian Harbour Beach.
Currently Florida State Statutes prohibits the City of Indian Harbour Beach and other municipalities that did not have regulatory ordinances in place in 2011 from regulating the location, number and density of short-term rentals within the City. Per City Code, short-term rentals in zoning districts R-3 are not required to register.
All vacation rentals are required to have an annual Fire Safety Inspection (including those in zoning district R-3). Questions regarding the fire safety inspections, please contact our Fire Marshal, Linda Johnson at 321.604.6466.
