Cape Coral short-term rental rules
Cape Coral requires annual residential rental registration, including for rentals of six months or less, and states a six-night minimum stay for short-term rentals. Florida DBPR provides the Vacation Rental - Dwelling license process. Florida DOR requires transient accommodation tax registration and distinguishes state taxes from county transient rental taxes. Check the official guidance for the property and operating arrangement before renting.
