Lake Wales Regulations

STRs are explicitly allowed with no city caps; investors only need a city business tax receipt plus standard state/county tax registrations and insurance. However, the lack of local STR-specific rules adds compliance uncertainty and forces reliance on state licensing and county tourist taxes.
