Night Caps: Miami vs Miami Gardens

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.

Is there a limit on how many nights I can rent my Miami Gardens property short-term?

No. Neither Miami Gardens 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, which Miami Gardens (incorporated 2003) does not have.

Are there any time-based STR restrictions in Miami Gardens?

Stays of 30 days or longer fall outside the vacation rental definition entirely. Beyond that, the city relies on Landlord Permits and Miami-Dade Certificate of Use rules covering registration, safety, and occupancy rather than night caps.
