Do I need an STR license for a unit in a "HOTEL CONDOMINIUM"?

[Jean Rosen]

Hello. I just bought a unit that is inside a building designated as "A HOTEL CONDOMINIUM".

I was told that I need to get all of the following in order to use it as a STR:

- Florida department of revenue - sales and use tax certificate

- DBPR dwelling license

- Broward county tourism tax collection registration

- Broward county business tax receipt account

With these four in hand I should be able to apply for both the "City Vacation Rental" license and the "City Business Tax".

So, all in all, six different applications / licenses.

My question is this - do I really need all of these or can I omit some of them because the unit is in a "hotel condominium", which, in my mind, should be eligible for short term rentals by definition.

Thank you.
