Miami-Dade Ordinance 14-77 does not require host presence during short-term rental stays in unincorporated areas, but absentee whole-home rentals in single-family residential zones are sharply restricted by zoning compatibility rules.
Unlike Miami Beach and some other municipalities that require an on-site operator, Miami-Dade County's STR ordinance (Ord. 14-77) regulates STRs through use registration, occupancy caps, and zoning rather than host presence. In RU-1 single-family districts, STRs are effectively prohibited as inconsistent with the residential character. In multi-family and tourism-oriented zones, absentee rentals are allowed if the property is registered, taxes are remitted, and a 24/7 local responsible party is designated. The local contact must respond to complaints within one hour.
Operating an absentee STR without a registered local responsible party violates Ord. 14-77 and exposes owners to civil penalties under Chapter 8CC and possible use revocation.
