Outside city limits: what you need to do in unincorporated Broward County

From the linked source
  1. No action
    Short-term rentals are allowed in Broward County

    The record lists no ban. Zoning and HOA rules for your address still apply.

  2. To do
    Get the Broward County short-term rental license or registration

    The record does not state the fee or term. The licensing office lists both.

  3. To do
    Register for your Florida sales tax account

    Sales tax and any discretionary sales surtax on transient rentals are always reported and paid to the Florida Department of Revenue (Form DR-15), so you need a Department sales tax account. Confirm registration and any county tourist tax account before renting.

  4. To do
    Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com collect the 6% Broward County occupancy tax for you

    That is per the record. On direct bookings, you collect and remit it yourself.

  5. To do
    File your returns

    Filing frequency varies by tax liability. The record does not state the due day; the tax office's calendar has it. If every booking goes through a collecting platform, ask the tax office whether you still file.

Verify each step with the authority before you file or apply. Source
