Gainesville, FL
Why Gainesville — and what it means for your property
Gainesville's guests come for the University of Florida, Gator football and the hospitals on Archer Road. We run short stays, furnished monthly rentals and annual leases around that calendar.
Gainesville sits in Alachua County, which sets much of the regulatory and tax picture for property here. We track those rules per address rather than per city, because they rarely stop neatly at a city line.
What stands out about Gainesville
- University of Florida campus and Ben Hill Griffin Stadium
- UF Health Shands Hospital and the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center on Archer Road
- Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV)
- Airbnb and VRBO remit Alachua County's 5% tourist tax on their bookings
- The City Code has no vacation rental license chapter, so state licensing applies
How Airbnb management works in Gainesville
What Airbnb management includes
Airbnb management is the whole job of hosting on Airbnb, done for you: building and tuning the listing, pricing each night, answering guests within minutes at any hour, turning the home over between stays and keeping it in repair. It is more than co-hosting messages — our own cleaning and maintenance teams do the physical work too.
We have hosted since 2016, manage 350+ Florida homes and have 10,000+ guest reviews behind us — that is the playbook your listing runs on.
A listing written for the guest who wants your kind of place
Guests choose on photos, the first lines of the title and the reviews. We order the photos to sell the home’s best features — the pool, the view, the space — write the title and description for the guests your market attracts, and keep tuning them against the competing listings near you.
Pricing is reviewed daily, so the calendar fills at the right rate: higher through snowbird season, spring break and festival weekends, sharper in the quiet weeks.
What Airbnb management looks like in Gainesville specifically
Since January 1, 2025, Airbnb and VRBO have collected and remitted Alachua County's 5% tourist development tax directly to the Alachua County Tax Collector, which says hosts who book only through those platforms no longer file a monthly return. Any stay booked directly or through another site still needs a county return, so we track which bookings came from where.
Florida's 6% sales tax and Alachua County's 1.5% surtax still apply to every stay of six months or less. On a Gainesville listing that mixes Airbnb, VRBO and direct game-weekend bookings, the paperwork splits by channel, and we keep each part filed.
Want the whole property handled, not just Airbnb management? Gainesville property management covers short-term, long-term and everything between — one team, one point of contact.

Gainesville questions
Owning and renting in Gainesville
Is Airbnb legal in Gainesville?
Yes. The City of Gainesville's Code of Ordinances has no separate vacation rental license or registration chapter as of October 2026, so the statewide rules apply: a DBPR vacation rental license (§509.241) and state and county tax registration. Zoning, HOA covenants and condo documents can still restrict short stays at a given address.
What taxes apply to short-term rentals in Gainesville?
Gainesville rentals of six months or less owe 12.5%: Florida's 6% sales tax (§212.03), Alachua County's 1.5% discretionary sales surtax (DR-15DSS, 2026) and Alachua County's 5% tourist development tax (DR-15TDT). Since January 1, 2025, Airbnb and VRBO collect and remit the tourist tax to the Alachua County Tax Collector; bookings taken elsewhere still need a county return.
Do game weekends matter for a Gainesville Airbnb?
Yes. Florida Gators home football is played at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on the UF campus, and those weekends book differently from the rest of the year. We price and set minimum stays around the football schedule and university events.
