Night Caps: Doral vs Miami

How many times per year can I rent my Doral home short-term?

The City of Doral allows no more than three (3) short-term rental registrations per property in any 12-month period, with each rental lasting between 7 days and 6 months. Stays under 7 days are prohibited. A new registration with Code Compliance is required for each rental period. Confirm the current limit with the Doral Code Compliance Department at 305-593-6700.

Why can Doral cap short-term rentals when Florida preempts new STR rules?

Florida Statute 509.032(7)(b) only preempts city STR-specific ordinances adopted after June 1, 2011. Doral incorporated in 2003, so its short-term rental restrictions, including the three-rentals-per-12-months cap and the 7-day minimum stay, are treated as pre-existing local rules that the state preserves. The DBPR license under FS 509.241 still applies on top of the city rules.

Does Miami limit how many nights per year I can rent on Airbnb?

No. The City of Miami does not impose an annual night cap. Florida Statute 509.032(7)(b) preempts cities from regulating short-term rental duration or frequency through ordinances adopted after June 1, 2011.

Is there a minimum stay requirement in Miami?

The City of Miami does not impose a minimum stay through Miami 21. However, individual condo associations and HOAs commonly require 7-day, 30-day, or longer minimum rentals, and those private rules are independently enforceable.

Could Miami add a night cap in the future?

No, unless state law changes. Cities that did not have a duration or frequency restriction on the books by June 1, 2011 are preempted by FS 509.032(7)(b) from adding new caps.
