Orlando, FL Short-Term Rentals: Repeat Violator Strikes (2026)

Section 58.990, Procedural Requirements, governs the full lifecycle of an owner-occupied home-sharing registration: the annual application and fee set by City Council resolution, planning-official review under the conditional-use standards of § 65.285, mandatory posting of the City's approval on any online listing, and remittance of all applicable sales and tourist development taxes. Subsection (f), Revocation, is the enforcement backstop for all of it: 'A violation of any standards or requirements contained herein, or of any development conditions, or any other law or code applicable to the property will result in the revocation of registration approval for home sharing.' The clause is not graduated, it does not distinguish a first offense from a repeat one, and it does not require a warning before revocation takes effect.

The ordinance also builds in an evidentiary shortcut for enforcement: under § 58.990(e), advertising a room or part of a residential property for short-term leasing, 'without regard for frequency of turnover,' is itself admissible in an enforcement proceeding and creates a rebuttable presumption that the property is operating as a home-sharing use. Once registration is revoked, continued operation would no longer carry the approval that § 58.990(c) requires be posted with every online listing, exposing the operator to code enforcement action for operating an unregistered home-sharing use.
