Short-Term Rental Regulations
Nokomis falls under unincorporated Sarasota County rules. City of Sarasota and City of Venice programs do not apply. The county enforces a 30-day minimum rental period on single-family-zoned homes. That rule was grandfathered before Florida’s 2011 state preemption, so it remains enforceable. Short-term rentals under 30 days are not permitted in single-family-zoned Nokomis properties. The main exception is Residential Multi-Family zoning on the barrier islands, where shorter stays may be allowed. A transient rental that is allowed needs a Florida DBPR Vacation Rental Dwelling License and registration with the Sarasota County Tax Collector. The license renews annually, and the profile lists no fee. Operators collect the 6.00% county Tourist Development Tax plus 7% Florida state sales tax. A 24/7 responsible party is required, along with safety standards and liability insurance. There is no owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement. Enforcement is rated moderate. Sarasota County and the City of Sarasota have continued to tighten registration and compliance heading into 2026, and the unincorporated 30-day minimum remains in force. Confirm parcel zoning with Sarasota County before you buy. Rules in this section apply to Nokomis and unincorporated Sarasota County. They do not describe Manatee County or the cities of Bradenton or North Port, which sit in the same data series.
Market Comparison
Against the US median figures used on StaySTRA (about 55% occupancy and about $220 ADR), the Sarasota-Bradenton Gulf Coast area STR market has lower occupancy and a much higher ADR. August 2026 occupancy was 48.57%, which is 6.4 points below the US median. ADR was $356, which is $136 above it. The 2025 annual average was 62.35% occupancy and $319 ADR, so ADR has stayed above $220 since 2020. Year over year, August 2026 ADR rose 12.99% while occupancy rose 0.72%. Most of the revenue gain came from price. The seasonal swing is wide, with February occupancy at 84.09% and September at 43.48%. Nokomis is a small community of 3,217 residents next to larger Sarasota and Venice markets. Top-operator data is tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Nokomis, so this profile omits it.
