City of Clearwater Fines Hosts- Airbnb& HomeAway -sting operation
It appears more cities are beginning to crack down on STR's.
Even in once STR Friendly neighborhoods on the Gulf Coast.
A Couple in Clearwater FL were fined $35k after Municipal Code Enforcement Board ran a sting operation to bust the couple .
Staking hosts out on Airbnb and HomeAway , even taking license plate info from cars parked in driveways.
It would be much more courteous if these cities and municipalities just post STR laws as opposed to being vague and opinionated to what is or is now allowed .
A basic radio , newspaper campaign to the local area would clear up all confusion , Apparently these municipalities and code enforcers rather play the Cat and Mouse game
Do others have knowledge of the STR law in the Greater Tampa Area or other regions in FL ?
