Market Score Breakdown
Five dimensions StaySTRA evaluates per market.
Market Overview
North Port is a residential city of 100,826 residents in Sarasota County on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Short-term rental performance is tracked at the level of the Sarasota-Bradenton Gulf Coast area. Every performance number on this page therefore describes the Sarasota-Bradenton Gulf Coast STR market rather than North Port alone.
As of September 2026, the all-listings average daily rate was $324 and occupancy was 43.2%. Average monthly revenue per listing was $3,942. Compared with September 2025, occupancy is up 10.0%, ADR is up 13.1% and revenue is up 22.9%, so price and volume are both higher than a year ago.
September is also the weakest month in the typical seasonal pattern, at 43.5% occupancy, so this reading sits near the bottom of the annual cycle. For 2026 through September, occupancy averaged 64.2%, ADR averaged $362 and monthly revenue averaged $6,115, compared with 62.3%, $319 and $5,209 for full-year 2025. Summing the seasonal months gives annualized revenue of $49,641 per listing.
Bedroom, booking channel and listing-type counts and top operator names are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for North Port, so this profile omits them.
North Port is not a standalone beach destination. Demand comes from regional anchors: CoolToday Park, the spring training home of the Atlanta Braves (roughly 70,000 attendees a season), Warm Mineral Springs (about 150,000 visitors a year), the Legacy Trail corridor (around 700,000 users a year) and the Wellen Park community. Gulf beaches at Manasota, Englewood, Venice and Nokomis are 25 to 45 minutes away. Sarasota County hosted about 2.89 million visitors in fiscal 2024, though a North Port specific visitor count is not published.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are legal in North Port. Florida state law (Fla. Stat. Chapter 509) preempts local regulation, so the city cannot ban vacation rentals or cap how often or how long a property is rented unless it had a qualifying ordinance before June 1, 2011. No such North Port ordinance was identified, and enforcement severity is rated minimal.
A permit is required at the state and county level. Operators need a Florida DBPR vacation rental license, renewed annually, and a Sarasota County tourist development tax account. No separate North Port city STR registration was identified. There is no owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement.
The Tourist Development (bed) tax is 6%. Florida sales tax in Sarasota County is 7%, which brings the combined rate to roughly 13% on transient rents. Airbnb and Vrbo collect and remit these taxes on their own bookings, but operators are responsible for tax on bookings from other channels.
Short-term rentals fall under the North Port Unified Land Development Code and must still meet general residential zoning, property standards, nuisance, noise, parking and trash rules. No STR-specific residential zoning ban was identified.
Recent changes: Sarasota County tightened its short-term rental ordinance in October 2025, but that applies to unincorporated county areas and not to land inside North Port city limits. North Port’s code was recodified through Ordinance 2026-03, adopted February 10, 2026. Confirm current requirements with North Port Planning at 941-429-7044 before buying or listing.

Operator concentration data is tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for North Port, so this profile omits it.
