None allowed. Osceola County cannot impose minimum-night stays or annual-night caps on vacation rentals. FS 509.032(7)(b) expressly bars counties from regulating the duration or frequency of rental, so there is no legal night cap in unincorporated Osceola.
Florida's preemption is explicit: local governments may not regulate how long or how often a vacation rental is rented. That means Osceola County cannot set a minimum stay (e.g., 7 nights), a maximum number of rental nights per year, or a limit on turnovers. Only pre-June-1-2011 grandfathered local rules could differ, and Osceola's short-term-rental framework post-dates that. The county instead relies on licensing, the 6% tourist tax, and occupancy/parking/noise standards to manage impacts.
Because no night cap exists to enforce, enforcement centers on unlicensed operation, unpaid tourist tax, and occupancy/parking/noise violations rather than stay length.
