Tampa STR zoning/licenses

[Maylin Cuello]

Hi there! 

I am trying to get my home listed on Airbnb and I am having some trouble understanding the zones in hillsborough county. From my understanding the city of Tampa (which I am within the limits of) doesn’t have any restrictions on STRs however the county does depending on zoning. I looked up my zone on the county website and I am having trouble understanding, I am not seeing any “zone” code other than flood zone. What I do see is a land use code. Is this the zoning code?

Also, as far as licenses needed to run the STR (which I am doing as a DBA not LLC), do I need to apply for a county license? I already applied for the Florida state vacation rental license just not sure if I need to fill a county application. Some sources I've read say that I do, however aren't specific about what application. Other sources don't even mention a county license for STRs in hillsborough.

Any help on this matter would be great! Thank you
