How much do vacation rental management companies charge in Miami and Miami Beach?
The typical fee for short term rental property management in Miami and Miami Beach can range from 15-30% depending on who you go with and whether they offer partial or full-service management. As an example, some larger national companies only offer partial management at a reduced rate, which requires more effort on your part coordinating with cleaning crews, restocking supplies, changing linens, maintenance, etc.
💸 Leave it to us, we'll help you make more that you would on your own. We're happy to work with you and customize a management solution that aligns with your financial goals.
Are vacation rentals allowed in Miami and Miami Beach?
Yes, however, there are important rules and zoning requirements to follow. In Miami and Miami Beach, you must first confirm that your property is in a zone that allows short-term rentals—many areas, including all single-family homes in Miami Beach, prohibit rentals of less than six months and one day. For permitted areas, you’ll need to obtain a Miami-Dade County Certificate of Use (renewed annually), a Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation Vacation Rental License, and a Local Business Tax Receipt. Miami Beach also requires setting up a Resort Tax account and including your license numbers on every advertisement or listing. Occupancy limits in Miami-Dade are two guests per bedroom plus two additional guests (maximum of 12, excluding children under three). Noncompliance can result in steep fines, so ensuring proper licensing and zoning is essential before operating a vacation rental.
😅 We take the headache out of managing your own vacation rental by ensuring your property adheres to any existing or new short-term rental regulations, keeping your investment secure and your guests delighted.
Do I need to collect and remit taxes for vacation rentals in Miami and Miami Beach?
Before collecting any short-term rental taxes from your guests in Miami or Miami Beach, first check whether the booking platform is already handling some or all of the taxes. Major marketplaces like Airbnb and Vrbo are registered with the Florida Department of Revenue to collect state sales tax (6%) and certain local transient taxes when a reservation is made (Florida DOR Sales & Use Tax Brochure; Florida Local Option Taxes). However, if you accept direct bookings or use a platform that does not remit all applicable taxes, you are responsible for collecting and submitting:
- Florida’s 6% state sales tax plus any applicable county surtax (floridarevenue.com).
- Miami-Dade County transient rental taxes (Tourist Development Tax, Convention Development Tax, etc. - miamidade.gov).
- Miami Beach Resort Tax (4%) for rentals under six months and one day (miamibeachfl.gov).
Failing to remit these taxes properly can result in penalties or fines, so always verify what’s covered by your booking platform and handle any additional obligations directly.
🎉 When you partner with us, we'll take care of the taxes for you. This approach allows you to focus on your other priorities while we handle the essential tax responsibilities, simplifying your life as a property owner.
