SF 474: Relating to city regulation of short-term rental properties

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on April 19, 2024. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill relates to city regulation of short-term rental properties. Under current law, a city shall not adopt or enforce any regulation, restriction, or other ordinance, including a conditional use permit requirement, relating to short-term rental properties within the city. A city also shall not require a license or permit fee for a short-term rental property in the city. The bill strikes these prohibitions. The bill does not strike similar prohibitions on counties (Code section 331.301(17)).
