Why Invest in Florida?
Florida's short-term rental market offers compelling opportunities for real estate investors seeking diversified income streams. The state's preemption framework allows vacation rentals statewide while local jurisdictions manage registration, safety, and operational standards—creating a predictable regulatory environment. Strong tourism demand, particularly in Southwest Florida and coastal markets, drives consistent rental yields. With mandatory state licensing through DBPR and county tourist development tax registration, compliance is straightforward. Investors benefit from Florida's lack of rent control and favorable tax treatment of transient accommodations under 6 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
You must obtain a state vacation rental license from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), register for state sales tax, and set up a county tourist development tax account. Additionally, most cities and counties require local business tax receipts and rental registrations. Requirements vary by jurisdiction—for example, Sarasota requires annual vacation rental certificates as of 2026, while Naples enforces 30-day minimum stays in residential zones.
