Why not read some of the previous threads?

If you did, you would find the PURSUANT TO STATE LAW, city, towns & counties in Florida, can not regulate STR's.

Here you go:


In 2011, then-Gov. Rick Scott signed legislation that prohibited local governments from enacting any new law that restricted the use of vacation rentals, prohibited those rentals, or otherwise regulated them, giving that power to the state government.

That law “grandfathered” some 75 local ordinances already on the books, meaning they could remain in force. After pushback from cities, the Legislature reversed itself in 2014, allowing local governments to handle problems including noise, parking, and trash, but still preventing them from prohibiting or regulating the duration or frequency of short-vacation rentals.

I am not a lawyer wannabee but I do know new laws can be written, old laws can be modified or thrown out, and laws standing can be fought in a court of law. Anyone can place a bill into action. If it gets unanimous votes in Congress, it becomes a law. Welcome to our democracy where laws change all the time.
