Short-term rentals in Coral Gables single-family residential districts are prohibited under the Zoning Code. Where permitted in commercial and mixed-use zones, operators must collect Florida sales tax (6%), Miami-Dade tourist development tax (6%), and Miami-Dade convention tax (2%), totaling approximately 14% in taxes on rental income.
The Coral Gables City Attorney has formally opined that short-term rentals in Single-Family Residential Districts are prohibited under the Zoning Code. In districts where overnight accommodations are permitted (Mixed-Use, Industrial, Commercial), operators must obtain a Public Lodging Establishment License from the Florida DBPR if renting fewer than 30 days more than three times per year.
