Overview
Jacksonville requires short-term vacation rental registration and compliance with the Duval County tourist development tax. Beach communities (Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach) may have additional local requirements.
Recent Changes: Jacksonville has been relatively welcoming to STRs compared to South Florida markets. The city is focused on growing tourism revenue and has not implemented the strict caps seen in Miami Beach or other Florida cities. Beach communities are monitoring STR growth but have not enacted major restrictions.
