Short-term rentals (STRs) in the Town of Surfside, Florida, are legal but subject to regulation by the Town's government. Known locally as "seasonal rentals," these accommodations can be short-term leases ranging from one day to six months. Property owners must register with the Town and secure a Short-Term Rental Registration for each rental period, limited to three registrations within any twelve-month interval. Common types of properties utilized for these rentals include single-family homes, two-family units, and multi-family dwellings, with demand driven mainly by tourism, particularly during peak seasons when beach access is a significant draw. The overall market environment emphasizes catering to tourists, but the area also appeals to business travelers due to its proximity to Miami. The Surfside Planning Department oversees these regulations, ensuring that properties comply with building codes and safety standards, and a 4% resort tax is imposed on rentals.
