Florida Statute 509.032(7) preempts local regulation of vacation rental bans, duration, and frequency, while FS 83.425 (2023) preempts local regulation of residential tenancies, leaving cities only narrow room for rental registration programs.
For short-term rentals (stays under 30 days, more than three times per year), FS 509.032(7) bars new local ordinances prohibiting vacation rentals or regulating their duration or frequency; ordinances adopted on or before June 1, 2011 are grandfathered. For long-term rentals, FS 83.425 (enacted by HB 1417 in 2023) preempts the regulation of residential tenancies and the landlord-tenant relationship to the state, undercutting local registration-and-inspection mandates. Vacation rentals are licensed by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation under Chapter 509, and tax registration with the Department of Revenue is mandatory statewide.
Operating an unlicensed vacation rental violates FS 509.241; first offense up to $1,000 plus DOR sales-tax penalties.
