Florida Short Term Rental Rules

Check that the address allows it before you fall in love with the deal.

Whether a short term rental is allowed depends on the exact address, not the zip code or what the neighbors do. These guides show how to check, with Orlando area examples.

Zoning, city versus county, and HOA rules can all change the answer for one address. Mailing addresses like Orlando or Kissimmee often don't tell you who actually governs the parcel.

Start with how to verify an address, then read the guide for the area you're looking at.
