Horse country, college town and suburb in one.
Short-term rentals are limited here. Annual leases are the plan we lead with, and your community usually has its own rules. The panel shows what the city allows.
Davie covers a wide piece of central Broward and has more variety than its neighbors. The western side keeps a rural feel, with ranch lots, barns and horse trails in areas like Long Lake Ranches and Shenandoah. The east has the downtown along Orange Drive, the college campuses and established subdivisions such as Pine Island Ridge and Forest Ridge, plus townhomes and condos closer to the highways. Few cities in the county put a horse trail and a university campus this close together.
That mix gives Davie two very different rental markets. Near the campuses, demand comes from students, staff and medical professionals, and leases follow the academic calendar. Family homes with yards and good school access rent on annual terms and tend to keep tenants for years. Acreage properties need a manager who knows wells, septic systems, fencing and pool care, not only drywall. Some ranch properties also come with barns or guest quarters, and those need clear terms in the lease about what the tenant can use.
Short stays are allowed with a town registration. The town requires the DBPR license before it will take the application, then sketches of the property, tax account numbers and two safety inspections. Many owners find the paperwork and the HOA rules point them toward annual leases instead, and we can run the numbers both ways. Whichever route you pick, we confirm what your HOA allows first, since a town registration does not override community rules.
Investors buying in Davie can use Brandon's broker license as well, whether the target is a duplex near the university, a townhome in a community that allows leasing, or a ranch home to hold long-term. We look at association lease rules and the real rent for the street before you make an offer. If a property needs work before it can rent, we can line up contractors and track the job in the app.

Renting in Davie, answered.
Short answers here. Anything longer belongs in a guide, linked below.
Do you manage long-term rentals in Davie too?
Yes. Annual and seasonal leases, with the same team and the same app.
Can you help me buy or sell in Davie?
Yes. Brandon Schneider is a licensed broker: he can list and sell your property, or find your next one, and we can manage it after closing.
What does management cost?
It depends on the property. The only thing we say publicly: if you are paying over 15%, let's compare.
Can I rent my Davie condo short-term?
Allowed with a Town of Davie vacation rental registration and certificate of compliance. Covers homes and condos rented more than 3 times a year for less than 30 days. Your building's documents can be stricter than the city, so we confirm both before listing.
What licenses do I need for a short-term rental in Davie?
DBPR license first (the town will not accept an application without it), then a town registration with affidavit of compliance, exterior and interior sketches, Florida sales tax and Broward tourist tax numbers. $500 full-year registration (October to September) with two initial safety inspections; $450 renewal ($400 owner occupied). Guests pay 13% in taxes on stays of 6 months or less (6% state + 1% county surtax + 6% Broward tourist development. No town resort tax.). We handle the filings as part of the service.
What is the minimum stay in Davie?
No town minimum. Many associations set their own minimum, often 30 days or more, so the building usually decides.
Can the state or Davie change these rules?
Yes, within limits. Under Florida law (FS 509.032(7)), cities cannot ban vacation rentals or limit how long or how often they are rented, but rules adopted before June 1, 2011 still stand. A 2024 rewrite of the state law (SB 280) was vetoed. Every short-term rental in Florida also needs a DBPR transient public lodging license and state sales and tourist tax accounts.
Can you manage a ranch or acreage property in Davie?
Yes. We plan for what larger lots need, like wells, septic, fencing, landscaping and pools, and we write tenant responsibilities for them into the lease.
Do you rent to students near the Davie campuses?
Yes, with the same screening as any tenant. We usually line leases up with the academic year and require guarantors where income does not qualify.
