Palm Beach County has not imposed minimum night stay requirements on STRs in unincorporated areas. Minimum stay caps are preempted by FL §509.032 for the County, though incorporated cities (Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach) and HOAs commonly impose 7 to 30 day minimums.
Town of Palm Beach prohibits rentals under 6 months in most residential zones. Boca Raton requires 30-day minimums in single-family zones. Delray Beach and Lake Worth Beach allow weekly rentals with permits. In unincorporated PBC, no minimum stay applies. HOA covenants frequently prohibit rentals under 30, 90, or 180 days regardless of zoning. Always check HOA CC&Rs and the specific municipal code for the property location before booking nightly rentals.
Unincorporated PBC: no county-level violation. HOA violation: fines up to $100/day under FL §720.305 and possible injunctive action. Municipal violation in incorporated areas: $250 to $500 per occurrence.
