Stays of 30 days or longer fall outside Orlando's short-term rental ordinance and Florida's transient rental statute, exempting them from registration, hotel taxes, and the primary-residence requirement.
Florida §509.013 defines a transient rental as occupancy under six months for tax purposes, but Orlando's STR ordinance only regulates rentals under 30 days. Stays of 31+ days are treated as standard residential leases. They are exempt from Orlando STR registration, host-presence rules, and Orange County's 6% Tourist Development Tax. Hosts marketing 30-day-minimum stays on Airbnb or furnished-rental platforms operate without permit obligations, though Florida sales tax still applies for stays under six months. Many traveling-nurse and Disney-corporate furnished rentals use this exemption.
Falsely advertising 30-day minimums while accepting shorter bookings invites Orlando code citations, back-collection of tourist taxes, and reclassification as an illegal unregistered short-term rental.
