Frequently Asked Questions: Miami/Fort Lauderdale STR Management
What are the short-term rental regulations in Miami and Fort Lauderdale?
STR regulations in South Florida vary significantly by municipality. Miami Beach has some of the strictest STR regulations in the country — short-term rentals (less than 6 months) are prohibited in most residential zones, with violations carrying fines up to $20,000. Fort Lauderdale allows STRs in most areas with proper registration. All operators must collect Florida’s 6% transient rental tax plus the applicable county resort/tourist development tax (6% in Miami-Dade, 6% in Broward). YourSTRManagement handles all regulatory compliance.
How much can I earn from a short-term rental in Miami?
A well-managed 1-bedroom in Brickell or Wynwood can generate $4,500-$6,500 per month, while a 2-bedroom on Fort Lauderdale Beach might earn $6,000-$9,000 per month. During peak events like Art Basel (December) and Ultra Music Festival (March), nightly rates can increase 150-300%.
Can I legally operate an Airbnb in Miami Beach?
Short-term rentals in Miami Beach are heavily regulated. STRs are only permitted in certain zoning districts, primarily commercial and resort-zoned areas. Residential-zoned properties generally cannot be rented for less than 6 months. Fort Lauderdale and other nearby municipalities offer more favorable regulatory environments. Our team can assess your specific property’s eligibility.
Do you provide bilingual guest support?
Yes. Our Miami/Fort Lauderdale team provides bilingual guest communication in English and Spanish, with additional support for Portuguese and French-speaking guests — particularly valuable for properties attracting Latin American and Caribbean travelers.
What happens to my property during hurricane season?
YourSTRManagement has comprehensive hurricane preparedness protocols including pre-season property assessments, storm shutter/board-up coordination, guest communication during weather events, post-storm inspections, and insurance claim assistance. We’ve successfully managed properties through multiple hurricane seasons with minimal damage and zero guest safety incidents.
