Port St. Lucie and unincorporated St. Lucie County do not require an on-site host. Fort Pierce's registration ordinance requires a local responsible party reachable and able to respond to the rental quickly, typically within one hour of a call.
Florida law lets localities require a local contact but not force host occupancy. Port St. Lucie imposes no host-presence rule. Fort Pierce's Chapter 22, Article X requires each registered short-term rental to name a local responsible party who must be able to respond and be present at the premises within one hour of a call from the city administrator or designee. St. Lucie Village's Ordinance 2023-3 similarly requires a designated responsible party contact for its registered rentals.
Failure to maintain or respond as a designated responsible party is a violation of the applicable city registration ordinance and can lead to fines or registration revocation.
