Short-term rental permit rules in Daytona Beach, FL — also called Airbnb permits, vacation rental licenses, or STR registration — list the application steps, fees, and operating requirements for hosting.
Daytona Beach requires a Business Tax Receipt for all short-term rentals. Hosts must also obtain a Florida DBPR vacation rental dwelling license for properties rented under 30 days when the owner is not present. STRs are limited to zones where transient lodging is permitted, not in residential-only zones.
Short-term rentals are classified as 'Other Accommodations' — dwelling units rented to transient persons for less than six months. Hosts must obtain a city Business Tax Receipt (annual, expires September 30), a DBPR license, and register for tax collection. STRs are not permitted in all residential zones — contact the Business Tax Office at (386) 671-8140 to verify zoning. Fire Department inspection is required before the application is finalized. A potential inspection fee of $56.35 may apply.
Operating without a permit carries fines of $500 per day. Failure to display the permit number on listings results in a $250 fine. Permits may be revoked after three substantiated complaints within 12 months.
