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 mid-term rental management works in St. Augustine ### What mid-term rental management is A mid-term rental is a furnished home let for a month or more at a time — longer than a vacation stay, shorter than a year’s lease. It suits guests who need a real home for a while: snowbirds spending the winter, travelling healthcare staff on contract, families relocating for work, and households placed by their insurer after a fire, flood or storm. For owners it means fewer turnovers, less wear and steadier occupancy than nightly hosting. We price it, find and screen the guests, put a written agreement in place, and look after the home and the guest for the whole stay — with our own cleaning and maintenance staff. ### Why mid-term works so well in Florida Florida has a built-in monthly market: winter residents who come for one to six months every year, plus a steady flow of contract professionals and relocating families. A furnished home in the right place can fill its winter with one or two long stays instead of dozens of short ones. Monthly stays are also an option for many owners whose condo association or neighbourhood rules limit nightly rentals but allow longer ones — check your documents, or send them to us and we will. ### What mid-term rental management looks like in St. Augustine specifically In the HP-1 historic preservation district, St. Augustine Code §28-156 records that Ordinance 1989-51 requires rentals of a month or longer. A home there cannot take nightly or weekly guests, but it can be a registered furnished rental for stays of 30 days or more. Those monthly stays still go through the city's vacation rental registration and annual fire inspection, according to the city FAQ. Stays up to six months also carry Florida's 6% sales tax, St. Johns County's 0.5% surtax and the county's 5% tourist development tax.

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/) - [Long-Term Rental Management](/services/long-term-rental-management/) - [Airbnb Management in St. Augustine](/services/airbnb-management/st-augustine/) - [Short-term rental management in St. Augustine](/st-augustine/) ## Mid-Term Rental Management nearby [St Petersburg](/services/mid-term-rental-management/st-petersburg/) [Tallahassee](/services/mid-term-rental-management/tallahassee/) [Tampa](/services/mid-term-rental-management/tampa/) [Clearwater Beach](/services/mid-term-rental-management/clearwater-beach/) [Cocoa Beach](/services/mid-term-rental-management/cocoa-beach/) [Daytona Beach](/services/mid-term-rental-management/daytona-beach/) [Destin](/services/mid-term-rental-management/destin/) [Fort Lauderdale](/services/mid-term-rental-management/fort-lauderdale/) [Gainesville](/services/mid-term-rental-management/gainesville/) [Hollywood](/services/mid-term-rental-management/hollywood/) [Jacksonville](/services/mid-term-rental-management/jacksonville/) [Key West](/services/mid-term-rental-management/key-west/) ## Get a free projection for your St. Augustine property No obligation, no pressure — just the numbers, from a local team that manages here.
