Dunedin requires registration of short-term vacation rentals under Section 103-15 of the Land Development Code, with annual proof of state DBPR licensing, sales-tax registration, business tax receipt, and liability insurance.
Dunedin defines a transient or short-term vacation rental as any living unit rented for less than 90 days or three calendar months. Section 103-15 of the city's Land Development Code (amended by Ordinance 24-09 in 2024) requires every owner offering a short-term rental to register annually with the city. Required materials include the owner name, address, and phone, acknowledgement of the Vacation Rental Standards in 103-15, proof of registration with the Florida Department of Revenue for sales tax, a Dunedin business tax receipt, proof of general liability insurance, and a current DBPR vacation rental license. Short-term rentals are permitted only in designated transient-use zoning districts. Long-term unhosted residential leases are not subject to citywide registration in Dunedin.
Operating without registration triggers code enforcement citations, daily fines through the special magistrate, and potential revocation of the city business tax receipt.
