Generally Investor friendly
Punta Gorda explicitly permits short‑term rentals citywide and requires a straightforward two‑tier licensing process (state Public Lodging Establishment License plus a city Business Tax Receipt with an inspection). Fees, taxes, and occupancy rules are moderate, there are no caps on the number of rentals, and enforcement is predictable but not prohibitive, making compliance manageable for investors.

Punta Gorda is part of the Sarasota-Bradenton-Punta Gorda Combined Statistical Area.Punta Gorda was the scene of massive destruction after Charley, a Category 4 hurricane, came through the city on August 13, 2004. Charley was the strongest tropical system to hit Florida since Hurricane Andrew in 1992, and the first hurricane since Hurricane Donna in 1960 to make a direct hit on Florida's southwest coast. In the years following the storm, buildings were restored or built to hurricane-resistant building codes. The new buildings, restorations and amenities concurrently preserved the city's past while showcasing newer facilities. During this time, Laishley Park Municipal Marina was built and the Harborwalk, Linear Park and various trails were created throughout the city for bicycle and pedestrian traffic.
