Jacksonville STR Zoning Laws

[Jamel Brown]

Good Afternoon BP Community,

I am obtaining all the proper licenses and documentations to run my Airbnb this September in Jacksonville, FL. However during my research I encountered that the City of Jacksonville (COJ) zoning laws states "dwelling units may be for owner occupancy or for rental or lease on a weekly, monthly or longer basis." My single family house meets the legal definition of Dwelling unit and I am in a Planned Unit Development (PUD) zone. However when I visit Airbnb there are plenty of postings that have rental requirements for only 2 nights. Has anyone in the local Jacksonville area come across this problem? If so, how were you able to work around it?
