Pinellas County, FL Short-Term Rentals: Noise Rules (2026)

Section 138-3232 governs individual dwelling units rented more than three times a year for stays of 30 days or less anywhere in the unincorporated county; St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Pinellas's other cities run their own rules. daily, though the section defers to any stricter county noise regulation that supersedes it. The obligation doesn't stop at the hour rule. Under (g)(6), every certificated short term rental must post, on a single page near the inside of the unit's front door, the responsible party's name and 24-hour phone number, the occupancy and parking limits, a copy of the Pinellas County noise ordinance, trash and recycling pickup days, the nearest hospital, an after-hours monitoring hotline number, and this exact warning: 'You are vacationing in a residential area.

Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. ' Subsection (h)(1) requires the identical warning to appear in every advertisement for the unit, alongside the occupancy limit and maximum parking count, and (h)(2) requires the ad to list the state DBPR license number and the county certificate of use number. Advertising that omits or misstates any of this is itself a separate violation under (h)(3).
