Pinellas Park requires landlords renting residential property to obtain a Local Business Tax Receipt. Short-term vacation rentals must additionally hold a state DBPR license and a Pinellas County Certificate of Use with inspection.
Anyone operating a residential rental as a business in Pinellas Park must obtain a Local Business Tax Receipt (BTR) through the city's Business Tax Division before collecting rent, in addition to county and state registrations. Long-term residential rental property maintenance is enforced through the city's code compliance division and the county housing code in Pinellas County Code Chapter 22 Article VI. Short-term vacation rentals (rented less than 30 days more than three times per year) are subject to Pinellas County's Short-Term Rental Certificate of Use program, which requires a $150 initial inspection, $450 annual renewal, and biennial $100 reinspection, along with a Florida DBPR Vacation Rental license under FS 509.241. Statewide preemption under FS 509.032(7) limits the city's ability to regulate rental duration or frequency for STRs grandfathered before 2011.
Operating without a BTR, county Certificate of Use, or DBPR license can result in fines starting at $150 for the first offense and escalating to $300 or more for repeats.
