Orlando suspends or revokes short-term rental registrations after repeat code violations, with a strikes-style framework that escalates penalties for noise, occupancy, and unregistered-listing offenses.
Orlando code enforcement tracks STR violations by registration number. Multiple substantiated complaints within a 12-month window trigger escalating sanctions: written warning, fine, registration suspension, and ultimately revocation barring re-registration for the property. Common triggers include exceeding occupancy caps, late-night noise complaints, and operating during a suspension. Revoked properties are referred to platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking) for delisting under the city's data-sharing agreements. Florida §509.032 (2024 amendments) limits how cities revoke licenses but Orlando's pre-2011 grandfathered ordinance preserves stricter enforcement authority.
Three or more substantiated STR violations within twelve months trigger registration suspension; repeated suspensions lead to permanent revocation and platform delisting under city-Airbnb data-sharing protocols.
