Doral does not use a per-night cap. Instead, the city limits each registered property to no more than three (3) short-term rental registrations in any 12-month period, with each individual rental between 7 days and 6 months. Doral incorporated in 2003, so this rule is grandfathered under FS 509.032(7)(b).
Rather than capping the number of rented nights per year, the City of Doral caps the number of separate short-term rental transactions. Each property can be registered for no more than three (3) short-term/vacation rentals in any 12-month period, and each booking must be between 7 days and 6 months in length. Stays shorter than 7 days are prohibited outright. The owner or host must apply for a new registration for each rental period through the Code Compliance Department. Because Doral incorporated in 2003 (before the June 1, 2011 cutoff in FS 509.032(7)(b)), this transaction-based cap is treated as a pre-existing local ordinance and is not preempted by the state vacation rental statute. Operators must still hold a DBPR Vacation Rental Dwelling license under FS 509.241 and remit Miami-Dade Tourist Development Tax (6%) plus 7% state sales tax for each booking. Confirm current per-period limits and the renewal process with the Doral Code Compliance Department at 305-593-6700 before listing on any platform.
Booking a fourth short-term rental within a rolling 12-month period, or accepting a stay shorter than 7 days, is treated as operating without authorization and triggers the city's STR fine schedule: $500 first, $2,500 second, $5,000 third, and $7,500 for a fourth violation within 12 months.
