As of January 1, 2020, a vacation rental registration shall be required to operate a vacation rental within the Town of Palm Shores in the residential zoning districts, utilizing forms promulgated by the town, electronically or in hard copy. The town may extend the date that such registration is required by notice on the town's website should the town not publish forms and fees for registration by January 1, 2020. Prior to the issuance of a vacation rental registration, the responsible party has the affirmative duty to ensure that the dwelling unit and property in or on which the vacation rental is or will be located, is in full compliance with the appropriate portions of Town Code, the Florida Building Code, the Florida Administrative Code, and the Florida Fire Prevention Codes. A separate vacation rental registration shall be required for each vacation rental. The operation of a vacation rental without registration after the date registration is required shall be a violation of this chapter, except in the instance of providing accommodations to fulfill a pre-existing contract.
