Short-term rentals (STRs), commonly referred to as vacation rentals, face strict regulations in Brevard County, Florida. Most residential areas impose a minimum rental duration of 90 days, effectively banning short-term rentals in those zones. Some cities, like West Melbourne, permit only weekly or longer rentals. STRs primarily thrive in commercial and mixed-use zones, appealing more to tourists than business travelers, bolstered by the region's attractions like its beautiful beaches. Property owners must register their rentals and obtain a business tax receipt, collect a 5% tourist development tax alongside the 6% state sales tax, and comply with safety regulations mandated by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). The Brevard County Planning and Development Department is the primary authority overseeing these regulations.
