Market Overview
Clermont is a Lake County city of 50,851 residents, about 25 miles west of Orlando. The short term rental performance figures on this page describe the Greater Orlando area STR market, which includes Clermont, rather than Clermont alone. The latest data month is September 2026. In September 2026 the average daily rate across all listings was $212, occupancy was 50.2%, and the average listing earned $2,997 for the month. Compared with a year earlier, occupancy is up 5.8%, ADR is up 5.0%, and revenue is up 7.1%, so the gain came from both more booked nights and higher rates. Entire place listings averaged $221 per night and $3,105 per month. Houses averaged $3,335 per month and apartments $2,489. Looking at calendar years, average monthly revenue rose from $2,219 in 2017 to $3,954 in 2025, essentially matching the 2022 level of $3,955 after a dip to $3,695 in 2023. Through September 2026 the year to date figures are 62.0% occupancy, a $246 ADR and $4,207 in monthly revenue, which sits above the full 2025 level. September is also the weakest month of the regular seasonal cycle, so the September reading understates the annual picture. Local demand drivers include the National Training Center, which draws athletes and sports events, the Clermont Chain of Lakes, Lake Louisa State Park and the Citrus Tower. Visitors also use Clermont as a quieter, lower cost base near Orlando area attractions. Bedroom, channel, and listing type counts and top operator names are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Clermont, so this profile omits them.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Clermont allows short term rentals through a city licensing program, and Florida state preemption under Statute 509 limits how far cities can restrict rental frequency or duration. There is no cap on nights per year, no owner occupancy requirement and no primary residence requirement. Only non-owner-occupied, whole house units qualify, meaning detached homes and duplexes inside Clermont city limits. Each unit needs its own application with proof of ownership, interior and exterior sketches showing labeled rooms, smoke and carbon monoxide detector locations, fire extinguishers and exit signage, plus a building permit for a Life Safety inspection. The City of Clermont vacation rental fee is $375, and the license renews annually by September 30. Operators also need a Florida DBPR vacation rental license and a Florida Department of Revenue registration. On taxes, operators collect 6% Florida state sales tax plus Lake County’s 4% Tourist Development tax. Platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO may collect these, but owners still need a DOR account and must coordinate the county tax with the Lake County Tax Collector. Clermont enforces noise ordinances and occupancy limits tied to bedroom count and property size. Enforcement severity is rated moderate, with the city focusing on licensing, life safety and nuisance issues rather than caps on nights. Confirm current requirements with the City of Clermont before buying.
Market Comparison
Year over year growth of 5.8% in occupancy, 5.0% in ADR and 7.1% in revenue shows the Greater Orlando area STR market is gaining rather than lagging. September is the seasonal low, and year to date 2026 numbers are stronger than the latest month: 62.0% occupancy and a $246 ADR, against 50.2% and $212 in September 2026. Entire homes at $221, professionally managed listings at $247 and luxury listings at $387 all sit above the all listings ADR of $212. Demand has a broad base: Lake County tourism generates roughly $2 billion in annual visitor spending and supports more than 16,000 jobs, though Clermont specific visitor counts are not published. The Clermont regulatory profile is workable for investors who buy the right property type: a $375 license, annual renewal, no night cap and no owner occupancy rule, but whole house, non-owner-occupied detached homes and duplexes only.
