Florida - Mid-Term Rental Question

Joseph Beilke

Posted

We have a mid-term rental we are getting ready to list in St. Augustine, Florida, minimum rental will be 30 days.  My question is are we required to get a license through the Florida DBPR as a "transient public lodging establishment"?  From the documents I have found that is not needed because the rental will be 30 days or longer however there is some verbiage in there that says "held out to the public as a place regularly rented to guests" it could be required.  We know about all the taxes we are subject to just unsure if we need to apply for the transient rental license.

Any help or insight is appreciate.

Thanks!

@Julia

@Julia Ferris some great insights.  I did not realize the Fair Housing Act did not apply in this case.  I like the theory of "having a short-term rental that has a minimum stay of 30 night" better to have those protections in place.  We are going to go ahead with the transient rental license.  Thanks for the words of wisdom!
