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 short-term rental management works in West Palm Beach
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 West Palm Beach specifically
Short-term rental management in West Palm Beach involves two governments. The city’s Code, Chapter 22, Article XII, requires a business tax receipt and a rental license for every rental dwelling unit, issued after an inspection against the city’s housing standards and renewed each year, plus a designated owner or local resident agent to accept code notices. Palm Beach County separately requires a tourist development tax account and a Short-Term Rental Local Business Tax Receipt for each vacation rental, renewed by September 30.
The county detail that matters most is the tax filing. The Palm Beach County Tax Collector says online platforms do not remit the 6% tourist development tax to it, so the host collects it from guests and files a return every month, including a $0 return in months with no bookings. We file those returns for every West Palm Beach property we manage.

West Palm Beach questions
Owning and renting in West Palm Beach
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.
What taxes apply to short-term rentals in West Palm Beach?
Florida's 6% sales tax on rentals of six months or less (§212.03), Palm Beach County's 0.5% discretionary sales surtax for 2026 (DR-15DSS) and Palm Beach County's 6% tourist development tax (DR-15TDT), which the host files with the county Tax Collector every month.
Does West Palm Beach inspect rental properties?
Yes. Under City Code §§22-444 and 22-445, the city issues a temporary certificate when a complete application and fee are received, then inspects the unit for compliance with the city's housing standards before issuing the rental license. Units converted to rentals cannot be occupied until the license is issued.
