Short-Term Rental Regulations
Clermont permits short-term rentals but applies its own city licensing layer on top of state requirements. Only non-owner-occupied, whole-house single-family homes and duplexes within Clermont city limits are eligible for a vacation rental license. Each unit requires a separate Vacation Rental application, including proof of ownership, interior and exterior sketches documenting room layouts, smoke and carbon monoxide detector placement, fire extinguishers, and exit signage. A building permit for a Life Safety inspection is required per unit. The city vacation rental license fee is $375 per year, renewed annually by September 30.
Beyond the city license, all operators must hold a Florida DBPR Vacation Rental License and register with the Florida Department of Revenue. The applicable tax rate is 10%: 6% Florida state sales tax plus Lake County’s 4% Tourist Development Tax. Airbnb and VRBO typically collect and remit these taxes automatically for platform bookings, but operators must maintain a DOR account. Clermont enforces noise ordinances and occupancy limits keyed to bedroom count. Florida Statute 509 limits how far cities can restrict rental frequency or duration, so Clermont’s regulatory focus is on licensing, life safety, and nuisance enforcement rather than caps on the number of nights rented. Enforcement is described as moderate.
Market Comparison
Clermont’s April 2026 ADR of $255.89 is modestly above the U.S. STR median ADR of approximately $220, reflecting the market’s competitive large-home segment offset by significant volume in the moderate-price tier. Occupancy at 65.5% is above the national median of roughly 55%. With 9.9% year-over-year revenue growth, this market is outperforming the national average for STR revenue momentum.
The market is served by large-scale professional operators.
