West Palm Beach does not impose a minimum or maximum night cap on short-term rental stays. FL §509.032 preempts cities from setting minimum stay requirements that effectively ban or unreasonably restrict vacation rentals.
Unlike some Florida cities that attempted minimum 7-day or 30-day stay requirements, West Palm Beach does not impose night caps on STRs. FL §509.032(7)(b) preempts local laws restricting frequency or duration of vacation rental stays unless adopted before June 1, 2011 (grandfather clause). Cities adopting new STR ordinances after 2011 cannot regulate duration. Operators may set their own minimum stays as a business decision. HOAs and condo associations may impose minimum-stay rules independent of city regulation.
