Short Term Rental Laws

[Kyle Smith]

Hi, a lot (most) areas that I am interested in renting out for short term rentals have strict laws that go with the short term rentals. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get your short term rental up and running smoothly in these areas? This goes for cities in general and also condo associations not allowing or having specific rules like having to be present on the property.

Hey Kyle! I would definitely recommend calling the county's city and zoning department before buying an STR. They may have certain applications you may need to fill out before starting your business. I would steer clear of counties that do not allow STR, there are many other profitable areas in Florida that do allow them without the hassle of fighting the county or getting into any legal trouble. Also, be sure to check in with HOA restrictions in the communities you search in. Feel free to message me if you have any more questions!
