Short-term rental permit rules in Orange County, FL — also called Airbnb permits, vacation rental licenses, or STR registration — list the application steps, fees, and operating requirements for hosting.
Orange County requires Short-Term Rental Certificate of Registration for rentals under 30 days in unincorporated areas. FL §509.032 preempts outright STR bans. DBPR vacation rental license also required. Heavy Disney and theme park market drives significant STR activity.
Orange County Code Chapter 9 requires Short-Term Rental registration for transient rentals of less than 30 days. Application includes proof of FL DBPR Dwelling or Condominium license, proof of Orange County Tourist Development Tax account, local contact within 1 hour response time, and insurance verification. Many areas of unincorporated Orange County (especially near Disney) are designated as STR-permitted subdivisions. FL §509.032(7) preempts local bans but allows reasonable regulation.
Operating without registration: $500 first offense, $1,000 subsequent. DBPR operating without state license: up to $1,000 per violation.
