Properties, which are intended to participate in a short-term let (rental) program, must be properly licensed with the Department Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants, a Florida State Agency. The annual fee is $140 - $150 for single family residences. In addition, the State of Florida will inspect each rental home before issuing the license.
The inspection will require that each home have the following:

• A ?2A40BC? fire extinguisher (approximate cost is from $45.00).
• Additional smoke alarm for the hearing impaired.
• All exterior doors, including the glass sliding doors, will need a double locking system.
• A rate card must be on file and maintained in the management company office.
• All homes must have smoke alarms in all the sleeping areas, i.e. bedrooms and living areas, and They must be inter-connected. If already built, we will inspect your home to make sure you are in compliance. If your home is to be built, the developer will usually install at no charge or for no more than $350. We always ensure that the home complies with the law.
