Hialeah, FL
Miami-Dade County
Hialeah and Miami-Dade County do not impose annual night caps on short-term rentals. Florida Statute 509.032(7)(b) preempts cities from regulating the duration or frequency of vacation rental stays unless the ordinance predates June 1, 2011, which Hialeah's current STR rules do not.

Miami-Dade County
Miami Beach does not impose an annual night cap, but Sec. 142-1111(a) bans any rental of less than six months and one day in most residential zones (RM-1, RM-PRD, RM-PRD-2, RPS-1, RPS-2, CD-1, RO, RO-3, TH) unless a specific grandfathered exemption applies. The Collins Waterfront Local Historic District exemption requires a minimum seven-night reservation, and no unit may be re-rented more frequently than once every seven days.

Hialeah FAQ
Is there a limit on how many nights I can rent my Hialeah property short-term?
No. Neither Hialeah nor Miami-Dade County imposes an annual night cap. Florida Statute 509.032(7)(b) preempts cities from regulating the duration or frequency of vacation rental stays unless the ordinance predates June 1, 2011.
Are there any time-based STR restrictions in Hialeah?
Stays of 30 days or longer fall outside the short-term rental definition entirely. Estate and Low-Density Residential zones require the responsible party to reside on the property for more than 6 months per year, which functionally limits how it can be operated.
