They arent even trying to abide by it. I just went on the site and could have booked for arrival tomorrow with NO PROBLEM. But the company handling it made the mistake of having their logo on the page and they will be promptly reported to the FLDBPR.
Not sure what you mean.
No, our sheriff has asked for us, the citizens of Walton Co., to help him help us. And I will if I see it. I know of at least one instance that a house full of visitors were called in and the deputy was there within 20 minutes and within an hour of that they were gone. So he IS doing his part. He just needs to know which rental property to go to.
Just for show. Very few officials want to enforce, from the Governor's office on down, President really. Give it a a couple of weeks and things will be back to normal without much fuss. What I see is a red and blue issue and from Lake City west we are 99% red.
It really doesn't serve the county well to have a paternalistic sheriff cultivating an Orwellian society where folks are encouraged to monitor their neighbors and report alleged violations. Trying to enforce "protective" ordinances that go against personal liberty and are so completely antithetical to the beach culture of South Walton is ridiculous! He would do well to follow the lead of many sheriffs across the USA who have pledged to respect Americans' freedom to travel, worship, recreate, etc. -- without surveillance or the threat of interference from government agents.
