Market Overview
This profile covers the Deerfield Beach short-term rental market using data through September 2026. Deerfield Beach shares an identical metric series with Hallandale, so every performance number below describes the Broward County coastal STR market rather than Deerfield Beach alone. In September 2026 the average daily rate across all listings was $192 and occupancy was 48.7%, which produced average monthly revenue of $2,621 per listing. Compared with September 2025, occupancy rose 2.4%, ADR rose 8.1% and revenue rose 1.9%.
September is the slowest part of the year in this market, so these readings sit below the annual picture. The twelve monthly seasonal figures sum to $40,357 of annualized revenue per listing, and the first nine months of 2026 show occupancy of 61.8%, an ADR of $256 and monthly revenue of $4,381. In September, entire-home listings earned an ADR of $202. Houses averaged $3,464 in monthly revenue, entire places averaged $2,756 and apartments averaged $2,024.
Bedroom, booking channel and listing-type counts are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Deerfield Beach, so this profile omits them.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are legal in Deerfield Beach but must be registered before operating. The rules apply when a residential dwelling is rented to transient occupants, meaning stays under 30 days, more than three times per year.
The city requires a Vacation Rental Registration with the Planning and Development Services Department, with a $100 fee. Registration renews annually by October 1 and requires a notarized affidavit confirming no changes or detailing updates. Operators also need a City of Deerfield Beach Business Tax Receipt, a Broward County Tourist Development Tax registration, a Florida DBPR Vacation Rental License and a Florida Department of Revenue Certificate of Registration. Properties must pass a safety inspection covering pool, spa and hot tub safety, smoke and CO detectors, fire extinguishers, emergency lighting and well-maintained common areas.
Vacation rentals are allowed in all residential zones subject to zoning compliance. Occupancy is capped at two persons per bedroom plus two additional persons, and quiet hours run from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. There is no owner-occupancy requirement, no primary-residence requirement and no annual night cap, because Florida state law preempts cities from limiting rental frequency or duration.
Guests pay Broward County’s 6% Tourist Development Tax plus the 6% Florida state sales tax and a 1% discretionary surtax, roughly 13% in combined lodging taxes. Enforcement severity is rated moderate. No major ordinance overhaul was identified for 2024 through 2026. Confirm current requirements with the city before operating.
