Short-term rental permit rules in Dunnellon, FL — also called Airbnb permits, vacation rental licenses, or STR registration — list the application steps, fees, and operating requirements for hosting.
Unincorporated Marion County has no separate short-term-rental permit, but Florida law requires every vacation rental to obtain a state license from the Division of Hotels and Restaurants (DBPR).
Marion County does not impose a county-level short-term-rental permit on unincorporated properties; rentals are governed by Florida's statewide vacation-rental framework, which is preempted to the state under section 509.032(7), Florida Statutes. Any dwelling rented to guests more than three times per calendar year for periods of less than 30 days qualifies as a 'transient public lodging establishment' (s. 509.013(4)(a)1.) and, when it is a single-family through four-family house or condominium/cooperative unit, a 'vacation rental' (s. 509.242(1)(c)). Section 509.241(1) requires each such establishment to obtain a license from the Division of Hotels and Restaurants before operating. Operators must also collect Marion County tourist development tax and state sales tax.
Operating an unlicensed public lodging establishment is a violation enforced by the Florida Division of Hotels and Restaurants and may result in fines and an order to cease operations under Chapter 509.
