Miami Gardens and Miami-Dade County impose no annual night caps on short-term rentals. Florida Statute 509.032(7)(b) preempts cities from regulating the duration or frequency of vacation rental stays unless the ordinance predates June 1, 2011. Miami Gardens incorporated in 2003 with no qualifying ordinance.
Neither Miami Gardens nor Miami-Dade County limits the number of nights a property may operate as a short-term rental. The Florida vacation rental preemption statute, FS 509.032(7)(b), expressly bars local governments from prohibiting vacation rentals or regulating the duration or frequency of stays unless their ordinance was adopted on or before June 1, 2011. Miami Gardens incorporated in 2003 and adopted no qualifying STR rule before that cutoff, so it may only impose neutral registration, safety, and zoning rules through its Landlord Permit and Miami-Dade's Certificate of Use program. Stays of 30 days or longer fall outside the vacation rental definition entirely. Confirm any zoning-overlay restrictions with Miami Gardens Building & Zoning at 305-622-8000.
Because no night cap exists, there are no penalties tied to total annual rental nights. Operators must still comply with CU, Landlord Permit, DBPR licensing, tax, occupancy, and safety rules; violations of those carry separate penalties.
