Winter Park does not cap annual rental nights but enforces 30-day minimum stays in most residential zones, effectively eliminating short-term use.
Winter Park does not employ an annual night cap model like some Florida coastal cities. Instead, the city enforces 30-day minimum stay requirements in single-family residential zones under its grandfathered pre-2011 ordinance, which FL 509.032 preserves. Shorter rentals in permitted mixed-use or commercial zones have no annual cap but must maintain DBPR licensing and pay all applicable taxes.
