Airbnb Short term Rental Market Data Analysis

Miami, Florida

Updated on Sep 2026

Miami is one of the deepest short-term rental markets in the United States, with year-round leisure demand and a heavy events calendar.

Regulations

Miami-Dade isn't a single rulebook. The county ordinance (Section 33-28) only covers unincorporated Miami-Dade; Miami Beach, the City of Miami, and the other 32 municipalities in the county each write their own rules, so the exact address is what decides which ordinance applies. In unincorporated Dade, hosts need a state DBPR vacation rental license, county tax registration, and an annual Certificate of Use, which requires a property inspection and has to be posted inside the unit. The on-site owner rule (host present 6+ months a year) only applies to properties zoned Estate or Low Density Residential on the county's land use map, not county-wide. Occupancy tops out at two guests per bedroom plus two more, twelve total. Hosts also have to run a nationwide sex-offender check on guests before renting to them, which isn't something most cities require. Fines for operating without a Certificate of Use start at $100 and climb to $2,500 for repeat violations, plus a $231.90 penalty fee and a possible lien on the property. Miami Beach runs its own, stricter program with 7-day minimum stays in many zones and fines reported as high as $1,500 a day, so check that city's code separately if the property is there.
