Short-Term Rental Regulations
Indialantic permits short-term vacation rentals (defined as stays of fewer than 90 days) but applies a geographic restriction that most Florida towns cannot impose. Because the town had an ordinance in place before June 1, 2011, it is grandfathered under Florida’s state preemption law and can restrict where rentals operate. In practice, vacation rentals are allowed only in the tourist district on the east (ocean) side of State Road A1A. Rentals west of A1A in residential areas are prohibited, with violations subject to fines of up to $250 per day.
Beyond the location requirement, operators must meet standard Florida and Brevard County requirements: a Florida DBPR Vacation Rental license (required for renting to the public more than three times per year), and a Brevard County Business Tax Receipt registered to the property (approximately $37 per year, renewed annually). No additional Indialantic-specific STR permit was identified beyond these state and county requirements.
Lodging taxes total approximately 11%: a 5% Brevard County Tourist Development Tax plus the 6% Florida state sales and use tax on stays of six months or less. Both must be collected and remitted by the operator on a monthly basis. No state-imposed owner-occupancy, primary-residence, or annual-night cap applies.
Enforcement is complaint-driven and classified as moderate. No major regulatory changes were identified for 2024 through 2026; the pre-2011 grandfathered ordinance and 5% county Tourist Development Tax rate remain in effect.

Indialantic’s April 2026 ADR of $239 sits approximately 9% above the US short-term rental median of roughly $220. Occupancy at 60.2% is above the US STR median of approximately 55%, reflecting steady Space Coast Atlantic beach demand.
