Five dimensions StaySTRA evaluates per market.
Market Overview
Short-term rentals are effectively prohibited inside the City of New Port Richey, so this profile is best read as market context rather than a plan for a legal STR in the city. Performance figures below describe the west-central Florida Gulf Coast STR market, a shared regional series that also covers Holiday and Inverness. The framing applies to every performance number on this page. As of September 2026, the average daily rate in the region was $161 and occupancy was 45.4%, producing average monthly revenue of $2,024 per listing. Compared with September 2025, occupancy is up 6.8%, ADR is up 5.6% and revenue is up 2.5%, so the month improved on all three measures even though it sits in the slow part of the year. Entire-home listings averaged $166 per night, and luxury listings averaged $286. Monthly revenue by property type in September 2026 was $2,115 for houses, $2,082 for entire places and $1,703 for apartments. Guests booked about 39.9 days ahead and stayed 5.3 nights on average, which points to planned trips rather than last-minute stays. Looking at calendar years, the region reached its highest annual occupancy in 2021 at 69.2%. Occupancy then eased to 58.5% in 2025, while ADR rose from $146 in 2021 to $170 in 2025. The 2026 year to date figures through September show 58.4% occupancy, a $179 ADR and $2,904 in average monthly revenue. Bedroom, channel and listing-type counts are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for New Port Richey, so this profile omits them. New Port Richey itself is a small Pasco County city of 16,676 residents about 35 miles northwest of Tampa, and its visitors are mostly regional and drive-market travelers.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals, meaning stays under 30 days, are not a permitted use in any residential district in the City of New Port Richey. The city’s zoning code prohibits any land use that it does not specifically permit in residential districts, and no district specifically permits short-term rentals. As a result, STRs are effectively banned citywide and no STR permit is available. Enforcement is rated strict, and operating a short-term rental is a code violation subject to citations and daily fines. Investors who want STR income in the area generally have to look at long-term rentals of 30 days or more inside the city, or at neighboring jurisdictions such as the City of Port Richey or unincorporated Pasco County, where short-term rentals may be allowed. For rentals legally operated in Pasco County, lodging is subject to Florida’s 6% state sales and use tax plus the county’s 5% Tourist Development Tax on stays of six months or less. Pasco raised that tax from 4% to 5% effective June 1, 2022. No recent change to the New Port Richey prohibition was found. Florida law (Chapter 509) preempts the regulation of vacation rentals to the state, but local restrictions adopted before 2011 are generally treated as grandfathered. Always confirm current status directly with the City of New Port Richey before purchasing.
Market Comparison

Operator names and counts are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for New Port Richey, so this profile omits them. For investors, the main comparison is regulatory.
