We have same problem on Commonwealth. Sympathize with you!

Illegal RSF rentals are killing the island and "core" neighborhood values. These neighborhoods are our homes. RSF zoned properties are 30+ days https://www.scgov.net/Home/ShowDocument?id=42331

WHY HASN'T THE COUNTY IMPLEMENTED a simple registration process to accompany our existing ordinance for RSF zoned homes on the barrier island that wish to rent? That doesn't violate state regulations as illegal rentals are not a protected class. In fact, a registrations process affirms our existing rules.

Effective July 1, 2021, Florida law CS/SB 60 “ requires that individual making a complaint of a potential violation provide his or her name and address to the local government body before an investigation may occur.” We are closing your inquiry at this time. You may provide your information and complaint by emailing ContactCenter@scgov.net or by calling the County Contact Center at 941-861-5000.
