Safer at Home Emergency Order in Effect in the City of Hollywood

On Friday, March 27, 2020, the City of Hollywood joined with other municipalities in Broward County to issue an Emergency Order, announcing a Shelter-in-Place: Safer at Home Policy for residents. All individuals are hereby ordered to remain home other than to engage or patronize essential businesses or conduct essential activities. This order doesn’t mean you are required to stay inside, but it does mean your travel is limited to and from essential businesses and services.

All are encouraged to read this order to familiarize yourself with what this means for you and your family. It's vitally important that all in Hollywood follow this order.

PLEASE NOTE: Governor Ron DeSantis announced today, Monday, March 30, 2020, that he will issue an executive order to remain "Safer at Home" through mid-May for the four counties in Southeast Florida (Broward, Dade, Palm Beach and Monroe Counties). When the order is issued, it will be posted on the under City News on the City's website under "Emergency Orders and Cancellations."

Important Information on Vacation Rentals

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has issued Executive Order 20-87 mandating that all parties engaged in the rental of vacation rental properties suspend these operations. All vacation rentals are prohibited from making new reservations or bookings and must not accept any new guests for check-in for the duration of the order.

If you believe any licensee is operating contrary to the Governor’s Executive Order 20-71 or Executive Order 20-87, please report the information to Department of Business and Professional Regulation using this form.
