Registration program
Long-Term Rental
Registration Requirements
In this jurisdiction, Owners of rental dwelling units are required to apply for and obtain a one-time rental dwelling unit license and certificate of inspection. Rental property is any structure or portion of a structure occupied by someone other than the Owner or Landlord for longer than 30 days.
If the property is transferred to a new Owner, the new Owner must submit a new application for transfer of a rental dwelling unit license within 30 days of the date of sale or transfer and provide an affidavit stating that the structure has a current inspection certificate and meets the minimum criteria on the inspection checklist. If a transfer request is not submitted within 30 days, the rental dwelling unit license will terminate and a new application and inspection will be required.
Exemptions
No rental license or inspection is required of any:
(1) Property owner who occupies a single-family dwelling unit, so long a tenant lives with the owner;
(2) Rented duplex or triplex or quadraplexes units in which the property owner resides within the attached on-site dwelling unit; or
(3) Residential units required to be inspected on a periodic bases for compliance with state or federal housing standards (for example, apartment complexes); provided, however, that the property owner must submit to the city a certificate of inspection or other documentation verifying the compliance with said standards; furthermore, nothing herein shall prohibit the city from conducting a complaint-driven or inspector-initiated inspection of such dwelling unit.
(4) High-risk occupancies required to be inspected annually in accordance with the Florida Fire Prevention Code (FFPC) most recently adopted edition as outlined in NFPA 1: 10.2.7 the minimum inspection frequency table.

Based on your answer to “How many units are rentals?”
Late fees

Fees are paid online by card or bank account when you submit your registration. A payment processing fee, if any, is shown before you pay.
Inspection
Registering it yourself
Deltona uses a self-registration system for long-term rentals. The owner files the application. An agent may file it only with a sworn statement from the owner. The city does not register the property for you.
Apply online before a tenant moves in. Registrations are one-time and do not need to be renewed. The registration fee is $300 per rental unit one time.
A city rental inspector inspects the inside and outside of the unit before the city issues a certificate of inspection. Pay $75 per rental unit before that inspection. The same fee is charged again when an inspection fails and has to be repeated. A tenant may not occupy the unit until the certificate is issued.
Buildings less than 5 years old still need the rental license. They are exempt from this inspection and from the inspection fee. On the form, enter the date the building was completed to claim that exemption.
Inspections must be renewed every 3 years, counted from the registration start date. The owner schedules that inspection against the city's inspection checklist, and the city issues a new certificate when the unit passes.
When the property is sold, the new owner applies to transfer the license within 30 days and gives the city an affidavit that the unit still meets the checklist. A late transfer ends the license, and the new owner must apply and be inspected again.
No license or inspection is required when the owner lives in the home with the tenant, when the owner lives on site in an attached duplex, triplex, or fourplex, or when the units are already inspected under state or federal housing standards and the owner submits that certificate. High-risk occupancies follow the annual fire-safety inspection. These exemptions leave every other property-maintenance duty in place.
Inspection fee
An inspection is required. Inspection fee: $75 per rental unit. Buildings completed within the last 5 years are exempt; you can claim the exemption by answering "If you are claiming an inspection exemption based on the age of the building, please list the date the building was completed? If you are not claiming an exemption, leave this field blank."
| Inspection fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| Per rental unit | $75 |
Inspection requirements
Inspection Requirements
Exterior and interior City inspection is required upon application for a rental dwelling unit license. Every three years, the property owner shall schedule and complete a rental inspection to confirm the structure meets the minimum criteria as outline in the inspection checklist. A new certificate of inspection shall be issued upon passing the inspection.
Rental dwelling units in structures less than 5 years old are exempt from the exemption process (but must still apply for a rental license).
Change of Ownership: A new inspection is not required as long as the new Owner provides an affidavit stating that the structure has been inspected and meets the minimum criteria.
If an inspection is required, the fee is required at time of registration. Inspections are required every three years. If an inspection fails, a new inspection with an additional fee will be required.
It is prohibited and unlawful for any Owner of a dwelling unit to allow any tenant to occupy the housing unit if the required certificate of inspection has not been issued.
