A 2011 Florida law prohibits cities and counties from regulating the length or frequency of stay in short-term rentals, but grandfathered in regulations already codified. Volusia County s rules haven t changed since 2004, so it was allowed to remain in effect.
Rentals of less than 30 days are regulated under Volusia County’s hotel/motel zoning rule. Hotels and motels (and, therefore, short-term rentals) are only allowed in areas zoned for tourism or some types of commercial activity. The problem is that any action amending the current ordinance on short-term rentals may trigger the state pre-emption, Thomson said. The state does not have a 30-day minimum. If the state law applied, it would be one day. And that s the concern.
