St. Lucie County and its cities cannot set minimum-night stays or cap how many nights per year you rent. Florida Statute 509.032(7)(b) preempts any local rule regulating the duration or frequency of vacation rentals.
Communities elsewhere impose 3- or 7-night minimums or annual night caps; Florida prohibits this. Section 509.032(7)(b) bars local governments from regulating the duration or frequency of vacation-rental stays, so Port St. Lucie, unincorporated St. Lucie County, Fort Pierce, and St. Lucie Village cannot enforce a minimum-stay or annual-night limit. Nightly and multi-night bookings are equally legal. Only local rules on the books on or before June 1, 2011 are grandfathered, and St. Lucie's jurisdictions have no such pre-2011 duration cap.
No penalty applies for renting any number of nights; local governments cannot lawfully cite an operator for stay length or rental frequency.
