St. Petersburg, FL
Why St. Petersburg — and what it means for your property
St. Petersburg limits homes to three stays under 30 days a year, so most owners here earn from monthly furnished rentals near the hospitals, the Dalí and the St. Pete Pier.
St. Petersburg sits in Pinellas 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. Petersburg
- City rule: stays under 30 days at most three times in any 365 days
- Johns Hopkins All Children's and St. Anthony's hospitals downtown
- The Dalí Museum and the St. Pete Pier on the downtown waterfront
- Pinellas County's 6% tourist development tax
- Monthly furnished stays are the main path for most homes
How short-term rental management works in St. Petersburg
What short-term rental management actually covers
Short-term rental management means someone else runs the business your home has become: the listing, the price of every night, every guest message, every turnover, every repair and every statement. Done properly it is a full-time operation — which is exactly why most owners hand it over.
We have hosted short-term rentals since 2016 and manage 350+ homes across Florida. Cleaning and maintenance are done by our own staff, not a rotating list of strangers, and guest communication runs around the clock.
Pricing every night, not once a season
Florida demand moves with snowbird season, spring break, school holidays, festivals, race weeks and summer on the Gulf and the Panhandle. A rate set once leaves money behind on the busy nights and empty nights in the quiet weeks.
We review your calendar daily and price each night around real demand, the competing homes near you and the events coming up — then check the result in your monthly statement.
What short-term rental management looks like in St. Petersburg specifically
St. Petersburg allows a residential property to be rented for under 30 days only three times in any consecutive 365-day period, according to the city's Transient Accommodation Uses handout. More frequent short stays must operate as a licensed hotel or motel or sit inside an approved Resort Facilities Overlay, and the handout says no property had that overlay yet.
Short-term rental management here therefore means either working with hotel- or motel-licensed units, or planning a residential home's year around three short stays and filling the rest with stays of a month or more. The city's Land Development Regulations define a month as 30 consecutive days or one calendar month, whichever is less, and we set minimum-night rules to match.
Want the whole property handled, not just short-term rental management? St. Petersburg property management covers short-term, long-term and everything between — one team, one point of contact.

St. Petersburg questions
Owning and renting in St. Petersburg
Is Airbnb legal in St. Petersburg?
Only within limits. The city's 2023 handout on transient accommodation uses says a residential property may be rented for under 30 days no more than three times in any consecutive 365-day period. More frequent short stays must operate as a licensed hotel or motel or sit within an approved Resort Facilities Overlay, and the same handout says no property had that overlay yet. Rentals of 30 days or more are not counted as transient accommodation.
What taxes apply to short-term rentals in St. Petersburg?
Stays of six months or less owe Florida's 6% sales tax (§212.03), any applicable county discretionary sales surtax, and Pinellas County's 6% tourist development tax (DOR form DR-15TDT, R. 10/26), which is collected by the county.
Do you manage long-term leases in St. Petersburg?
Yes. Annual leases are arranged with licensed broker partners, and our own staff handle maintenance.
