St. Augustine, FL ## Why St. Augustine — and what it means for your property Vacation rental and Airbnb management in St. Augustine, where the zoning district sets the shortest stay: nightly in some districts, a week in RS-1 and RS-2, a month in HP-1. We match each home to its rule. St. Augustine sits in **St. Johns 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 St. Augustine - Every vacation rental registers with the city each year and passes a fire inspection - RS-1 and RS-2 homes rent for a week or longer; nightly stays are not allowed there - HP-1 historic district homes rent by the month or longer - Two guests per bedroom plus two children, never more than 12 - Castillo de San Marcos and Flagler College in the historic downtown ## How Airbnb management works in St. Augustine ### 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 St. Augustine specifically An Airbnb listing in St. Augustine has to match the city registration. Code §28-146 says the information on each listing must reflect the registration form, and an inaccurate listing counts as a separate violation. The bedroom count, occupancy and parking on the listing are therefore set from the registered floor and site plans. Minimum-night settings follow zoning: seven nights for RS-1 and RS-2 homes, a month for HP-1, nightly elsewhere. In RS-1 and RS-2, Code §28-158 also voids the registration if a gathering of 20 or more people takes place, so event bookings are screened out of those homes. Each rental must post its maximum occupancy, guest visiting hours, trash schedule, emergency contacts and evacuation information, and keep marked fire exits and emergency lighting. Airbnb management here covers that posting as well as the guest messaging. Want the whole property handled, not just Airbnb management?

Yes, with city registration, and the minimum stay depends on zoning. The city's FAQ says homes in RS-1 and RS-2 may be rented for periods of one week or longer, homes in HP-1 for a month or longer, and homes in all other zoning districts nightly, in every case with an approved registration. Code §28-155 explains that nightly rentals count as a motel use, which RS-1 and RS-2 have not allowed since 1975. A Florida DBPR license is also required. What taxes apply to short-term rentals in St. Augustine? Stays of six months or less carry Florida's 6% sales tax (§212.03), St. Johns County's 0.5% discretionary sales surtax (DR-15DSS, 2026) and St. Johns County's 5% tourist development tax (DR-15TDT), which is paid to the county. How many guests can stay in a St. Augustine vacation rental? St. Augustine Code §28-148 allows two people per bedroom plus two children under 18, with a hard cap of 12 including children. Daytime visitors who are not counted must leave between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. (§28-149). ## Other services in St. Augustine - [Short-Term Rental Management in St. Augustine](/services/short-term-rental-management/st-augustine/) - [Mid-Term Rental Management in St. Augustine](/services/mid-term-rental-management/st-augustine/) - [Long-Term Rental Management](/services/long-term-rental-management/) - [Short-term rental management in St. Augustine](/st-augustine/) ## Airbnb Management nearby [St Petersburg](/services/airbnb-management/st-petersburg/) [Sunny Isles Beach](/services/airbnb-management/sunny-isles-beach/) [Tallahassee](/services/airbnb-management/tallahassee/) [Tampa](/services/airbnb-management/tampa/) [West Palm Beach](/services/airbnb-management/west-palm-beach/) [Cape Coral](/services/airbnb-management/cape-coral/) [Championsgate](/services/airbnb-management/championsgate/) [Clearwater Beach](/services/airbnb-management/clearwater-beach/) [Cocoa Beach](/services/airbnb-management/cocoa-beach/) [Davenport](/services/airbnb-management/davenport/) [Daytona Beach](/services/airbnb-management/daytona-beach/) [Destin](/services/airbnb-management/destin/) ## Get a free projection for your St. Augustine property No obligation, no pressure — just the numbers, from a local team that manages here.
