LEGALITIES with STR in Orlando

[Wilfredo Torres]

Hi all, 

Closing on my 1st STR this week. Minor cosmetic rehab. In the meantime I'm looking for resources or anyone who has directly navigated the registration and licensing process that comes with running a legal STR in Orlando.

 Is your property in Orange county Florida or is it in Osceola Lake Polk or Seminole county? If your property is in the city of Orlando you can do str legally so long as you register with the city and you live in it full-time and you're not renting more than half of the total bedrooms. If you're an Osceola county or any of the other counties I previously mentioned you can rent out the whole home. Orange county does not allow whole home short-term rental. The only exception to this rule is if it is a condo hotel.
