To host an Airbnb in unincorporated Broward County, you must first get your state licenses from the Florida DBPR and Department of Revenue. Then, you'll apply for a county-level registration which costs $350 and requires a safety inspection of your home. You must post a notice inside the house with the maximum number of guests (usually 2 per bedroom plus 2) and emergency contact info. While Airbnb collects the 6% county tourist tax for you, you are still responsible for keeping your local registration active and renewed annually.
