West Palm Beach, FL ## Why West Palm Beach — and what it means for your property West Palm Beach requires a city rental license and business tax receipt for every rental dwelling, and Palm Beach County adds its own short-term rental receipt and tourist tax filings. West Palm Beach sits in **Palm Beach 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 West Palm Beach - City rental license and business tax receipt for every rental unit - Inspection before the city license is issued - Palm Beach International Airport and Brightline downtown - Clematis Street, Rosemary Square and the Kravis Center - Palm Beach County's 6% tourist tax, filed monthly by the host ## How long-term rental management works in West Palm Beach ### What long-term rental property management covers Long-term rental management is everything between “this house should be rented” and a monthly deposit in your account: pricing the rent, marketing the home, screening applicants, the lease, collecting rent, maintenance, inspections and renewals. Leasing is done with licensed brokers, and maintenance by our own staff — the same people who look after our short-term homes across Florida. ### Finding the right tenant A good tenant is worth more than a few dollars of rent. We price the home against comparable rentals nearby, market it, show it, and screen every applicant before a lease is offered — then walk you through the lease before it is signed. ### What long-term rental management looks like in West Palm Beach specifically West Palm Beach licenses every rental, not only short stays. Chapter 22, Article XII of the City Code makes it unlawful to rent any dwelling unit without a business tax receipt and a rental license or temporary certificate, so an annual lease needs the same city license and inspection as a vacation rental. Units newly converted to rental use cannot be occupied until the license is issued. The owner must also designate, in writing, the owner or a resident agent to accept notices of code violations, and the agent must live in the city or work at a business location there. For owners who live elsewhere, we fill that role, keep the annual license current, and have licensed brokers handle tenant placement and the lease.

City Code §22-446 requires the owner to designate, in writing, the owner or a resident agent to receive notices of code violations. The resident agent must be an adult who lives in the city or is regularly present at a business location there. Who pays the Palm Beach County tourist tax on Airbnb bookings? The host. The Palm Beach County Tax Collector says online platforms do not remit tourist development tax to it, so the host collects it from guests and files a return every month, including $0 returns in months without rentals. Is Airbnb legal in West Palm Beach? Short-term rentals can operate in West Palm Beach with the right licenses. Chapter 22, Article XII of the City Code makes it unlawful to rent any dwelling unit without a city business tax receipt and rental license, issued after an inspection. Palm Beach County also requires a tourist development tax account and a short-term rental business tax receipt, and the state DBPR license applies to units rented more than three times a year for under 30 days. Condo and HOA rules can restrict short stays further. ## Other services in West Palm Beach - [Mid-Term Rental Management](/services/mid-term-rental-management/) - [Short-Term Rental Management in West Palm Beach](/services/short-term-rental-management/west-palm-beach/) - [Airbnb Management in West Palm Beach](/services/airbnb-management/west-palm-beach/) - [Short-term rental management in West Palm Beach](/west-palm-beach/) ## Long-Term Rental Management nearby [Cape Coral](/services/long-term-rental-management/cape-coral/) [Coral Gables](/services/long-term-rental-management/coral-gables/) [Destin](/services/long-term-rental-management/destin/) [Key West](/services/long-term-rental-management/key-west/) [Miami Beach](/services/long-term-rental-management/miami-beach/) ## Get a free projection for your West Palm Beach property No obligation, no pressure — just the numbers, from a local team that manages here.
