Proposed Amendment to Fort Lauderdale Vacation Rental Ordinance Discussed | NewsRadio WIOD

(Fort Lauderdale, FL) – The city of Fort Lauderdale is cracking down on its 1500 registered vacation rental properties.

A proposed amendment to the Vacation Rental Ordinance comes as many residents complain about noise, parking and safety issues like a fire hazard or an unsecured pool.

The ordinance amendment also stiffens penalties for owners who anyone operating a vacation rental on an expired certificate will receive a $1,000-per-day fine.

Airbnb listings are subject to the same Vacation Rental certification. A final reading and vote on the change is expected after today’s discussion.

Some of the other changes include:

Owners can’t get new or renewed certificates if there are unpaid fines, liens or penalties.
Property owners must allow inspections for safety-related complaints.
Violations will reset after 12 consecutive months with no violations.
Operators can’t evade violations or suspensions by transferring a property to an entity they control.

The ordinance amendment passed the first reading and is scheduled to be voted on pending Friday’s Vacation Rental Stakeholder Meeting.

The 26-year-old will play under a one-year, $1.7 million deal, which saves the Texans $2 million under the salary cap. Dell is currently on injured reserve as he recovers from a severe knee injury sustained in 2024.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Dell’s injury was severe, involving torn ACL, MCL, and LCL ligaments, a dislocated kneecap, and significant meniscus damage. This required multiple surgeries and kept him out for the entire 2025 season. Despite these challenges, Dell participated in a limited capacity during training camp, focusing on individual drills. He is expected to return to action by October 11 against the Tennessee Titans.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>The Texans have placed Dell on injured reserve, meaning he will miss the first four games of the season. Head coach DeMeco Ryans emphasized patience in Dell’s recovery plan, stating, "Tank Dell is on his own plan." Dell expressed that overcoming the mental challenges of recovery was as significant as the physical ones.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Dell’s return is anticipated to provide a boost to the Texans’ offense. Over his two active seasons, he has caught 98 passes for 1,376 yards and 10 touchdowns. The Texans currently have five other receivers on their active roster: Nico Collins, Jaylin Noel, Kayshon Boutte, Xavier Hutchinson, and Jared Wayne.\u003c/p>\n\n”,”schedule”:{},”type”:”html”},{“id”:”29915968″,”kind”:”podcast”,”related_id”:””,”schedule”:{},”type”:”catalog”}],”canonical_url”:”https://www.iheart.com/content/2026-09-04-texans-dell-agrees-to-revised-contract/”,”cuser”:”user/ldap/1099951″,”enable_featured_widget”:true,”exclusion”:{“tags”:[]},”external_url”:””,”fb_allow_comments”:true,”featured_widget”:{“country”:””,”id”:””,”kind”:””,”related_id”:””},”feed_content_id”:”c7fc4b5b586f550b2d50510ecb261329d00f139ee7fb36ad9201dad294be7a44″,”feed_partner_content”:false,”feed_permalink”:””,”feed_type”:””,”feed_vendor”:”iHeartRadio”,”include_recommendations”:true,”include_video_monetization”:true,”is_sponsored”:false,”keywords”:[“keywords/ai-assisted”,”keywords/Tank Dell”,”keywords/Houston Texans”,”keywords/NFL”,”keywords/knee injury”,”keywords/contract”,”keywords/injured reserve”,”keywords/recovery”],”permalink”:”https://wiod.iheart.com/content/2026-09-04-texans-dell-agrees-to-revised-contract/”,”primary_image”:{“bucket”:”assets.getty”,”id”:”%2F6a9acfc0d1d22d56eb61d8c0″},”primary_target”:{“categories”:[“categories/sports”],”distribution”:[“facets/All Sites – English”]},”publish_date”:1788530340000,”publish_end_date”:4115978604802,”publish_origin”:”brands/iHeartRadio”,”seo_title”:””,”show_updated_timestamp”:false,”simplereach_enabled”:false,”slug”:”2026-09-04-texans-dell-agrees-to-revised-contract”,”social_title”:””,”summary”:”Recovering from a major knee injury, Dell saves the team $2 million.”,”targets”:[{“categories”:[“syndications/apple-news”],”distribution”:[]},{“categories”:[“syndications/news”],”distribution”:[]}],”title”:”Texans’ Dell Agrees To Revised Contract”},”slug”:”2026-09-04-texans-dell-agrees-to-revised-contract”,”summary”:{“image”:”https://i.iheart.com/v3/re/assets.getty/6a9acfc0d1d22d56eb61d8c0″,”title”:”Texans’ Dell Agrees To Revised Contract”,”description”:”Recovering from a major knee injury, Dell saves the team $2 million.”,”author”:””},”pub_start”:1788530340000,”pub_until”:4115978604802,”pub_changed”:1788530717465,”subscription”:[{“tags”:[“categories/sports”,”facets/All Sites – English”]},{“tags”:[“syndications/apple-news”]},{“tags”:[“syndications/news”]}],”exclusion”:[{“tags”:[]}],”linksData”:[],”lookup”:[“publish_origin:brands/iHeartRadio”,”id:/6a9acfc641196ddbd314cca0″,”slug:2026-09-04-texans-dell-agrees-to-revised-contract”,”slug:2026-09-04-texans-dell-agrees-to-revised-contract”,”keyword:keywords/ai-assisted”,”keyword:keywords/Tank Dell”,”keyword:keywords/Houston Texans”,”keyword:keywords/NFL”,”keyword:keywords/knee injury”,”keyword:keywords/contract”,”keyword:keywords/injured reserve”,”keyword:keywords/recovery”]}}],”resume”:{“id”:”ID:editorial-feed-whatwhere”,”context”:{“\u003clocale>”:”en-US”},”size”:12,”from”:”eyJza2lwIjoxMiwiY3Vyc29ycyI6eyJkYVNMVyI6ImV5SnNhVzFwZENJNk5pd2liMlptYzJWMElqb3hNbjA9In0sImVuZHMiOnsiTDZsVUsiOi0xLCI3VEtvVSI6LTF9fQ==”,”scopes”:null}}},{“id”:”ad:bottom-leaderboard”,”region”:”ad:bottom-leaderboard”,”type”:”ad”,”ordinal”:0,”value”:{“ad_split”:0,”position”:”3306″},”tags”:[],”schedule”:null}]},”statusCode”:200,”tagsSet”:[]},”device”:{“_userAgent”:”Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 14_2_1) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/17.2 Safari/605.1.15″,”_navigator”:null,”enableHeaderSearch”:null},”player”:{“loaded”:false,”externalAction”:{“_subscriptions”:[]},”overrideConfig”:null,”defaultId”:null,”overrideId”:null,”ready”:false,”playback”:false,”inProgress”:false,”iframeUrl”:””},”gptReady”:false}
