Before You Buy

How Short-Term Rental Rules Work In Florida

A home being for sale near the theme parks doesn’t mean it can be rented by the night. Three things decide it: where the home is zoned, what its community association allows, and the state and county licensing that comes with running a rental. Here’s what to check before you make an offer.

County And City Rules

Whether a home can be rented by the night starts with zoning. Each county and city decides where short-term rentals are allowed, and most Florida neighborhoods are zoned only for owners and long-term tenants. The communities on this page sit where nightly rentals are permitted, which is why so many of them are clustered in Osceola and Polk counties near the theme parks.

HOA And Resort Fees

Zoning is only half of it. The community’s association has its own rules, and some neighborhoods inside a permitted area still prohibit nightly rentals. Resort communities usually charge higher association dues because they cover more, such as the clubhouse, pools, security and sometimes internet and cable. Some homes also carry a community development district fee on the tax bill. Ask for the association’s rental rules and fee schedule before you make an offer.

Financing And Running It

Loans for an investment home work differently from a home you live in, so talk to a lender early about down payment, rates and whether the expected rental income can count toward qualifying. Most owners hire a local property manager to handle bookings, cleaning and guests. Florida also requires vacation rentals to be licensed with the state and to collect sales and tourist development taxes, and some counties add their own registration.

Answers

Common Questions

Where Can I Legally Run An Airbnb Near Disney?

In communities zoned for short-term rentals, like the ones on this page. Most are in Kissimmee, Davenport, Reunion and the ChampionsGate area, within about half an hour of Walt Disney World. Rules can differ from one home to the next inside a community, so your agent confirms the specific home before you buy.

How Do You Verify A Community Allows Short-Term Rentals?

Our team checks a community’s zoning and association rules before it goes on this list. Rules change, so our agents confirm current zoning and association rules again as part of every short-term rental purchase.

How Much Can A Short-Term Rental Earn?

It depends on the home’s size, whether it has a pool or game room, its distance to the parks, the time of year and how it is managed. Ask your agent for the rental numbers on any home you are considering before you visit.

What Fees Should I Expect In A Resort Community?

Expect association dues, which in resort communities often include amenities, security and sometimes internet and cable. Many homes also pay a community development district fee with their property taxes, plus the costs of a property manager, cleaning, insurance and licensing.

Can I Use The Home Myself Part Of The Year?

Usually, yes. Many owners block out dates for their own family visits. Check the property manager’s agreement and the association’s rules for how far ahead you need to reserve your own stays.

Do I Need A License To Rent By The Night?

Yes. Florida requires vacation rentals to be licensed with the state and to collect state sales tax and the county’s tourist development tax. Some counties and cities also require their own registration. Your agent and property manager can walk you through the steps for a specific home.
