Agenda 03/26/2019 Item #11B11.B 03/26/2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to accept the report and suggestions from the Tourist Development Council for next steps in regulating Short Term Vacation rentals in the unincorporated area of Collier County. OBJECTIVE: Review and give direction to staff on the next steps, if any, in regulating Short Term Vacation Rentals. CONSIDERATIONS: At Board direction, on February 25, 2019, the Tourist Development Council (TDC) reviewed the history of vacation rentals in Collier County, the estimated number of those rentals in the County, and how other Florida communities are addressing this issue. After a discussion "that more information and analysis is required on the issue (workshops, stakeholder meetings, etc.)," and that "the process should be a long term investigation to ensure the most optimum solution possible is developed," to move the item along, the TDC "moved for the Board of County Commissioners to further investigate changing County requirements for short term vacation rentals, including obtaining any data available from the Code Enforcement or the Sheriff's Office on complaints regarding the activity." Said investigation may include workshops with stakeholders and advisory boards in order to develop recommendations on the issue." (See attached minutes.) Staff Report The Collier County Land Development Code (LDC) has a provision that prohibits short-term rental of six months or less in most areas of unincorporated Collier County. The six month period is defined in the LDC provision for "Destination Resort Hotel". Unless "transient lodging" is permitted in a zoning area, then any rental of six months or less would be prohibited. RT Zoning is the only residential district that permits transient lodging in unincorporated Collier County. Vacation Rental listings in all of Collier County for 2019 indicate on average 14,650 short term vacation rental listings on websites such as VRBO (8,000, Home Away (6,000); AirBnB (300); Craig's List (350). Many of the same rental units are listed on multiple websites. The largest concentrations of listings are primarily west and south of I-75 including Naples Park, Pelican Bay, Pelican Marsh, Park Shore, Naples Downtown, Lely, Fiddler's Creek and Marco Island. The Collier County Tax Collector's records indicate there are a total of 10,861 registered Collector Records in Collier County. The number of Vacation Home Rental accommodation types included in that total for Condos, Single Family Homes, Apartments, Realtors/Property Management totals 10,705 collectors. Staff analyzed all 35 coastal counties plus three inland counties in Florida and found that all assess a Tourist Development Tax that include short term rentals. 34 of those 38 counties have County Ordinances relating to short term vacation rentals of 6 months or less. A sampling of Florida Counties indicates that some assess penalties for violations of local short term vacation rental ordinances. The City of Miami Beach has a $20,000 fine for renting a property without a County licenses. Miami Dade County has fines for renting without a Certificate of Use ranging from a first offence of $100 to $2,500 for the third offense. Some Counties have varying enforcement options such as differentiating between an entire house rental vs. one room. Some allow this activity only in homesteaded properties. Many require registration, and some require inspections. Collier County Code Enforcement reports they received 38 Short Term Vacation Rental calls in 2016, 44 Packet Pg. 194 11.B 03/26/2019 calls in 2017 and 90 calls in 2018. The majority of those calls are for Prohibited Use complaints, followed by loud music and noise complaints, parking and traffic complaints and litter and trash left by short term renters. We were not able to collect information on calls for service from law enforcement. Currently the Collier County Tax Collector does not have agreements with any of the Vacation rental website companies such as AirBnB, VRBO, Home Away, etc. This is primarily due to the inability for these companies to provide the transparency the Tax Collector requires to determine who the property owner is and if they are registered to collect and remit the Tourist Development Tax on these rentals. Collier County Code Enforcement could assist in instituting a procedure for on-line registration of short- term vacation rentals that would combine Business Tax Receipts, State Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Tourist Tax and Sales Tax registration; an affidavit signed by the homeowner to comply with County Building and Fire Codes; institute spot checks on registered properties and investigate compliance complaints. Current Legislation in Tallahassee has six bills filed relating to short term rentals: SB 812 - Vacation Rentals. Requiring persons engaged in certain public lodging -related transactions to display a valid certificate of registration number in rental listings or advertisements; revising the inspection responsibilities of the Division of Hotels and Restaurants regarding vacation rentals; revising the classification of "vacation rental", etc. SB 814 - Fees/Hosting Platforms/Transient Public Lodging Establishments; Requiring the Division of Hotels and Restaurants of the DBPR to adopt by rule a schedule of fees for hosting platforms that wish to advertise or list transient public lodging establishments, etc. SB 824 - Private Property Rights of Homeowners; Preempting the regulation of vacation rentals to the state; requiring each person applying for a vacation rental license to provide the Division of Hotels and Restaurants of the DBPR with specified information, etc. HB 987 - Vacation Rentals: Preempts to state regulation of vacation rentals, with exception; revises application requirements for vacation rental licensure; requires Division of Hotels & Restaurants of DBPR to make certain vacation rental license information available on its website. HB 1129 - Public Lodging Establishments: Defines term "hosting platform"; requires certain public lodging establishments to display license number in all advertising for rentals; requires hosting platforms to designate agent for service of process, develop & maintain report listing specified information about rentals, & remove advertisements or listings if they fail to display valid license number; provides civil penalties; requires Division of Hotels & Restaurants of DBPR to adopt rules & authorizes division to revoke, or refuse to issue or renew, vacation rental license. SB 1196 - Vacation Rentals; Requiring licenses issued by the Division of Hotels and Restaurants of the DBPR to be displayed conspicuously to the public; requiring the operator of a vacation rental or specified public lodging establishment to display its license number in advertisements; revising the criteria for a public lodging establishment to be classified as a vacation rental, etc. FISCAL IMPACT: No Fiscal Impact is known at this time. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan with this Executive Summary. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney. The County Attorney is in full agreement with the TDC "that more information and analysis is required on the issue (workshops, stakeholder meetings, etc.)," and that "the process should be a long term investigation to Packet Pg. 195 03/26/2019 ensure the most optimum solution possible is developed." This is a difficult and complex issue, whose current breadth raises numerous hypothetical legal issues. This item requires majority vote for approval. -JAK RECOMMENDATION: Accept the report and suggestions from the Tourist Development Council for next steps in regulating Short Term Vacation rentals in the unincorporated area of Collier County.
