§ 58.989. Procedural Requirements.

(a)

Registration. Any person offering property within the City of Orlando for owner-occupied home sharing must register that property with the City by completing an application form as provided by the planning official and paying an annual fee in an amount to be set from time to time by resolution of the City Council. The planning official is authorized to promulgate reasonable rules and regulations regarding the application and registration of owner-occupied home sharing. A complete application must include or be accompanied by:

1.

Verification that the applicant is the property owner or has notarized permission from the property owner in a form acceptable to the planning official.

2.

Two proofs of residency to show that the applicant resides on the property being registered.

3.

The total number of bedrooms on the property and how many will be devoted to hosted visits.

4.

Any other information required by the planning official.

(b)

Registration approval. Applications for owner-occupied home sharing must be reviewed and approved, approved with conditions, or denied, by planning official determination. In reviewing an application, the planning official shall apply the standards of review provided for review of conditional use permits as provided at Section 65.285 of this Code. If the planning official approves the registration, he or she may impose appropriate conditions and safeguards in conformity with the intent and provisions of this Code. Conditions of development must be reasonably calculated to mitigate identifiable land use impacts of the owner-occupied home sharing use.

(c)

On-line posting. Any property that receives approval from the City must include the approval with any on-line listing offering the property for home sharing.

(d)

Taxes. All sales and tourist development taxes for the home sharing use must be appropriately remitted.

(e)

Advertising. The advertising or advertisement for the leasing, renting, or letting, for whatever length of time and without regard for frequency of turnover, of a room, rooms, or any other part or parts of a residential use is admissible in any enforcement proceeding and raises a rebuttable presumption that the residential property is being used as a home sharing use.

(f)

Revocation. A violation of any standards or requirements contained herein, or of any development conditions, or any other law or code applicable to the property will result in the revocation of registration approval for home sharing.
