Color-coded map and table for all 25 Pinellas jurisdictions: nightly vs 30+ day stays, minimum length, who enforces. Confirm parcel, HOA, flood, and insurance before you model Airbnb revenue.
Updated July 2026 · Rules checked against city planning sources
How to use this map
- Match the parcel to its jurisdiction (mailing city labels are often wrong — check the Property Appraiser).
- Find the city on the map and in the table for minimum stay, tier, and one-line rule.
- Verify zoning, HOA or condo docs, flood zone, insurance path, and permits on that address before you offer.
Rule tiers in plain English
- Mostly nightly-friendly
- Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores, Kenneth City, Pinellas Park, and Tarpon Springs (Resort Residential) — still need DBPR license, taxes, and local BTR.
- Restricted districts
- Treasure Island, St. Pete Beach, Gulfport, Largo, and others allow nights only in specific zoning — do not rely on city name alone.
- 31+ day or blocked
- Clearwater and much of St. Pete residential stock need monthly minimums or limited-stay paths. Underwrite furnished midterm or resale if nights fail.

FAQ
What is the Pinellas County short-term rental zoning map?
This hub is the color-coded map for 25 Pinellas jurisdictions. Use the table for minimum stay, nightly vs 31+ day rules, taxes, and who to call. Then verify the parcel, HOA, flood, and insurance on that address. Mailing city labels are often wrong.
Is this an Airbnb map for Pinellas County?
It is a zoning and rules map for short-term rentals, not a guest booking map. Use it to see whether nightly Airbnb is allowed before you underwrite revenue. For guest search, use Airbnb. For buy-side diligence, use this map plus city guides linked in the table.
Does Clearwater allow short-term Airbnb rentals?
No. The City of Clearwater requires a minimum 31-day stay in residential districts. Beach exceptions need documented grandfather rights.
Does St. Petersburg allow short-term rentals?
St. Pete is not a free nightly market in residential zones. Stays under one month are limited (3-stay / transient-use rules). Gulfport and exact zoning change the answer — confirm before you offer.
Do I need a license to operate a short-term rental in Pinellas County?
Yes: Florida DBPR vacation rental license, local business tax receipt, Florida sales tax registration, and Pinellas tourist development tax. Unincorporated Pinellas also needs a Certificate of Use.
What taxes do Pinellas County STR guests pay?
About 13% combined on bookings under 6 months: 6% Pinellas tourist development tax + 7% Florida sales tax. Platforms may remit only part of it; operators remain responsible for the rest.
