The Orlando & Kissimmee short-term rental program

Every public lodging establishment in Florida, which includes vacation rentals, must hold a license from the DBPR Division of Hotels and Restaurants. [1] One vacation rental license can cover several houses or units, and the licensee must report changes to the addresses or unit count under the license. [1] Under state law a vacation rental can be a condo or co-op unit, or a house or dwelling of one to four families, owned individually or collectively. [2] A home counts as a transient public lodging establishment when it is rented more than three times a calendar year for stays under 30 consecutive days. [3]

Orange County charges a 6% tourist development tax on short-term rentals, collected by the county. [4] Osceola County (Kissimmee) charges a 6% tourist development tax on short-term rentals, collected by the county. [4] County and city transient rental taxes on stays of six months or less are charged on top of the 6% state sales tax and any county surtax. [4] State sales tax and surtax on transient rentals always go to the Department of Revenue, even in counties that collect their own tourist tax. [4]

Local governments in Florida may not ban vacation rentals or limit how often or how long they are rented. [5] Local rules adopted on or before June 1, 2011 are grandfathered from that limit. [5]
