North Miami imposes strict limitations on short-term rentals under Chapters 5 and 29. Rental advertisements for periods less than 3 months are prohibited, and rentals of 3 months or less (or renting more than 4 times in 12 months) are banned. Operators must hold a Certificate of Use and Business Tax Receipt. Florida imposes a 6% transient rental tax plus Miami-Dade County's 6% Tourist Development Tax on qualifying rentals of 6 months or less.
Under Chapters 5 and 29 of the North Miami Code, single-family homes must have a minimum lease period of 3 months, and properties may be rented no more than 4 times within a 12-month period. Advertising rental periods shorter than 3 months is prohibited. A limited number of properties hold legal-nonconforming status under Ordinance 2009-25, which grandfathered certain short-term rental operations in single-family zoning districts prior to the restriction. All rental properties require a Certificate of Use and Business Tax Receipt from the city under Chapter 11. State and county tax obligations include Florida's 6% transient rental tax on stays of 182 nights or shorter, plus Miami-Dade County's 6% Tourist Development Tax (convention development tax of 3% plus 3% additional) on rentals of 6 months or less. Property owners must also register with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) and obtain a state vacation rental license if renting for less than 30 days.
Operating a short-term rental without proper licensing or in violation of the 3-month minimum lease is subject to Code Compliance enforcement, fines, and potential lien on the property. Report violations to Code Compliance at (305) 895-9825.
