Tallahassee imposes no annual or monthly night caps on short-term rentals. Florida Statute 509.032(7)(b) preempts cities from regulating the duration or frequency of vacation rentals unless an ordinance was on the books before June 1, 2011, and Tallahassee has no such grandfathered rule. State law defines a 'vacation rental' as a unit rented more than 3 times per year for periods of less than 30 days.
Under FS 509.032(7)(b), Florida cities cannot prohibit vacation rentals or regulate the duration or frequency of vacation rentals adopted after June 1, 2011. Because Tallahassee did not adopt a pre-2011 STR ordinance, the city cannot impose night caps, minimum-stay requirements, or annual rental-day limits. State law (FS 509.013(4)(a)) defines a vacation rental as a transient public lodging that is rented more than 3 times in a calendar year for periods of less than 30 days, or that is advertised as a vacation rental. There is no ceiling on the number of nights a property may be rented or the number of properties an owner may operate within Tallahassee city limits. HOA covenants and condominium declarations may impose private night caps independent of city law and remain enforceable. Always check your HOA/condo documents before listing.
No city night-cap violations exist because no city night-cap ordinance exists. Violations of HOA or condo association rules are private matters enforced by the association, typically through fines, liens, or injunctive relief.
