Questions for Orlando STR?

    Hello!

    Recently purchased a duplex in Tampa to get my REI career started but the idea of STR around the Disney area has always intrigued me. Looking at the City of Orlando's rules regarding STR, have a few questions:

    • City of Orlando's website says most residential zoning districts don't allow for STR. They have stays of under 7 days as motel/hotel uses and are limited to non-residential zoning districts.
      • How do you get around this? Is this something that is not a big deal or are you just rolling the dice on getting caught?
    • Their website says you would have to apply as "Bed and Breakfast", which requires you to be an owner occupant.
    • Again, is this something that the city just isn't following up with?

I LOVE the idea of STR in Orlando but is this too much hassle to deal with?

Would appreciate responses!  Thanks!
