Coral Gables prohibits short-term rentals in all residential districts, making occupancy limits effectively zero for residential STR operations. Rentals under six months are banned in single-family residential districts under a pre-2011 ordinance grandfathered from Florida's preemption statute.
The City of Coral Gables prohibits short-term rentals (defined as any rental period shorter than six months) in all residential zoning districts. This prohibition predates June 1, 2011, and is expressly exempted from Florida Statutes Section 509.032(7)(b), which otherwise restricts local governments from banning vacation rentals. Short-term rentals are only permitted in Commercial-Limited, Commercial, and Industrial zoning districts, where occupancy limits follow the applicable commercial lodging standards and fire code maximums. Administrative Order AO-2021-05 establishes enforcement procedures specifically for STR violations in residential areas, with fines of $150 per day for properties found operating short-term rentals in single-family residential districts. Code Enforcement at (305) 460-5216 actively monitors listing platforms for violations.
