Permit to rent a duplex?

So I got a visit from code enforcement at my latest duplex in Pasco county florida today. I was not there, but they left a "courtesy notice" that says I need to get a permit to rent out a duplex. I never heard of this (have only owned duplexes for 2 years now) though, I will call the permit office tomorrow to see what it's about, and what this costs, but curious if others have had this?

Oh, don't get me started! 

Many areas require a "permit". In my area, they call it a Rental Registration. And of course for this additional "benefit" of registering, you get to pay. You should be able to look up the rules (and possibly costs) in your municipal code.
