Generally Investor friendly
Jacksonville explicitly permits short‑term rentals citywide (excluding Jacksonville Beach which has its own certificate), but investors must secure a state DBPR license, a local land use permit (or STVR certificate and fire inspection for Jacksonville Beach), and pay modest annual fees and taxes; occupancy limits are reasonable and there are no caps on the number of units, making the framework friendly yet moderately bureaucratic.
