Plant City does not cap minimum or maximum night stays for short-term rentals. FL §509.032 preempts local stay-length restrictions. Any rental under 6 months and 1 day is classified as transient.
Florida Statute §509.032(7) preempts local regulations that restrict the duration or frequency of STR stays. Plant City cannot impose minimum-night requirements (such as 2-night or 7-night minimums) or maximum annual rental caps. Any lease under 6 months and 1 day is treated as transient rental under FL §212.03 and triggers sales tax and TDT. Operators set their own stay policies on platforms. One-night stays are legal, though many hosts self-impose 2-night minimums to reduce turnover wear.
None applicable at local level. Misclassifying a transient rental as a long-term lease to avoid TDT can trigger FL DOR audit and back taxes.
