Doral, FL Short-Term Rentals: Registration Rules (2026)

The City of Doral defines a short-term or vacation rental as the rental of any single-family home, condo, townhouse, or multi-family unit for a period between 7 days and 6 months. Stays under 7 days are prohibited. Owners must apply to the Code Compliance Department for a Certificate of Use before advertising or listing. Required documentation includes proof of ownership, government ID, written notice to the HOA or condo association, a floor plan showing bedrooms, bathrooms, exits, fire extinguishers, and smoke detectors, proof of resort tax registration with the Florida Department of Revenue, and a signed compliance affidavit covering occupancy, parking, noise, and trash rules. Because Doral existed before June 1, 2011, FS 509.032(7)(b) preserves its authority to require local registration even though the state preempts most newer city STR ordinances. Operators must also hold a DBPR Vacation Rental Dwelling license under FS 509.241 and remit Miami-Dade Tourist Development Tax (6%) plus 7% Florida sales tax. Confirm current fees and forms with the Doral Code Compliance Department at 305-593-6700.
