Short Term Rental in Daytona Beach

[Dylan Fleming]

I am looking to purchase a piece of residential property in Daytona Beach, Florida but am unsure on the correct way to go about listing it on AirBnB.

I understand that Daytona Beach has pretty strict local laws regarding no short term rentals on residentially zoned properties, but I’m think there may be a way around it, but want to make sure and hopefully can get some advice from a real estate attorney based in Florida.

If I were to purchase the house through an LLC, could I get away with saying that airbnb guests are just company clients occupying the property?

If so, how would the income be taxed? Need any licenses?

Thank you very much for any suggestions!

(I understand this could be a very grey area but willing to give it a shot)
