Description
The is house was rented four different times to unrelated groups from mid July 2020 to beginning of August by Siesta Key rentals https://siestakey.com/35144/ You can see in August its rented twice already within less than 30 days. The rental description says ~~1 month minimum in Season and 2 weeks out of Season~~ but they are renting it numerous times to different groups within 30 days. I have screen grabs of the rental website from last summer of rental dates of more than once a month and this year too for documentation as needed. The rental groups are often multi-family sometimes exceeding 8 , play loud music to the canal, the boat lift is broken so they park their boats in front of neighbors seawalls, we also have pics of that. Siesta Key rental is aware of the rules and likely the owners, but are disregarding.

We have an existing ordinance https://www.scgov.net/Home/ShowDocument?id=42331 but, we don’t have the RSF registration process that accompanies said ordinance, therefore, it’s nearly impossible to enforce ILLEGAL RSF rentals activity on the barrier Island.
Needed: Implement a registration process to accompany a pre-existing ordinance; This does NOT make it more difficult to LEGALLY rent, therefore, it does not violate state regulations.
The county attorney refused to even vet the process of what’s needed…. See, I asked the county attn. to work with my team on a registration process that accompanies our existing ordinance… Just like Jacksonville Beach. The county attorney then said he couldn’t discuss without 1st the BCC directing him to do so and pointed us to the BCC for a commissioner’s approval to vet this process.
However, before I could even ask a commissioner to “direct county legal to vet the possibility”, county attn. languished an opinion by telling the commission it would violate state regulations. That is 100% false.
A registration process for an existing ordinance does NOT in any way violate state rules! In fact, re-affirms it! We need a Residential Single-Family Homes (RSF) registration process ‘a permit per se’ for RSF owners that wish to rent.” - As an example, Sarasota County has a great existing ordinance but missing the enforcement mechanism i.e. No registration process which entails turning over rental records on demand, collecting and reporting taxes, requires a 7-day week point of contact, and owner or owner’s rep to sign off on existing ordinance as acknowledgment. (RSF in the example is 30+ days). Likely 1,000+ illegal vacation rentals on SK stealing 40MM yr., causing problems, unmanaged, not paying taxes, and taking all the annual rentals out of the-yearly-rental-market- NEEDED now more than ever! The strain on deputies, and scattering our 1st responders outside of the active zones, etc. is unacceptable.
