The vacation rental shall not be advertised for any commercial or non-residential use. Advertising the use of the premises as a vacation rental shall not be prohibited. Any advertising of the vacation rental unit by the owner, representative or any service shall conform to information included in the vacation rental application and shall include at a minimum, identification of the maximum occupancy permitted on the property. The owner or representative shall ensure that the name and contact information for any listing services on or through which the vacation rental is to be offered for rent, which was provided in the application, is updated with the city to reflect any changes to ensure that the city has a current list of all sites on which the vacation rental is listed for rent. Advertisements for the vacation rental must display the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation Transient Lodging license number and the City of Hollywood vacation rental license number. Any advertising of a property for purposes of a vacation rental shall be deemed sufficient evidence of the use of that property as a vacation rental for purposes of enforcing all sections of this chapter. It shall be the property owner's responsibility to cancel any advertisements upon ceasing rentals. Failure to do so is not a defense.
Advertising of occupancy is limited as set forth in § 119.34. Any violation shall result in a fine to the property owner in an amount set by resolution of the City Commission.
