Challenging to Investors
Short‑term rentals are legal but tightly controlled: a mandatory registration and compliance program (Rentalscape), fire inspections, DBPR/state/county tax accounts, and clear zoning with strict weekly/monthly stay limits that cap rental frequency and complicate bookings. The online‑only process and monitoring create a known compliance pathway, yet the durational caps and multi‑layer licensing still dampen flexibility and returns.
