Market Overview
Ormond Beach sits on Florida’s Atlantic coast just north of Daytona Beach in Volusia County, with a population of 43,976. Before anything else: the city defines transient lodging as any lease of less than six months and explicitly states this use is not permitted, conditional, or a special exception in any residential zoning district; short-term rentals are legal only in three commercial zoning districts (B-4, B-6, B-7). The figures below reflect market activity across the wider area rather than an endorsement that residential STRs are legal to operate inside Ormond Beach city limits. Volusia County drew roughly 10.14 million visitors in 2023, who spent about $5.4 billion, though 95 to 98% of that concentrates around Daytona Beach rather than Ormond Beach itself, which brands itself the ‘Birthplace of Speed’ for its early-1900s auto racing history and markets a quieter beach and downtown-arts alternative. The Apivex STR series for this area is tracked at a shared submarket level covering Ormond Beach and nearby Volusia County communities rather than uniquely for the city itself.
The Ormond Beach, FL area STR market posted an average daily rate of $263.68 and 61.35% occupancy in June 2026, with a trailing average revenue per listing of about $4,413.64.

Investment Analysis
Entry cost in the Ormond Beach, FL area is moderate: Zillow’s typical home value is $365,607.60, with a median sale price of $395,416.67 and median list price of $408,266.67 across 823 homes for sale. Homes sell at a 0.969 sale-to-list ratio and take a median of 47 days to go pending.
Before any rate or yield math: Ormond Beach effectively bans traditional short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods. Nightly or weekly rental of a typical single-family home or condo in a residential zone is not a permitted, conditional, or special-exception use anywhere in the city, with no path to approval. Legal STR operation is confined to three commercial zoning districts (B-4, B-6, B-7), where an operator must obtain a local business tax receipt and Site Plan Review Committee approval of the specific location. Long-term rentals of six months or more remain permitted in all residential zones with no license required, which is the practical fallback for a typical residential rental property here.
For context only, contingent on owning or acquiring a parcel in one of the three eligible commercial zones: rate tiers show the all-listing ADR at $263.68, rising to $266.87 for entire-home units, $319.66 for professionally managed listings, and $419.90 for the luxury tier. Using the reported area average revenue of $4,413.64 per month ($52,963.63 annualized) against the $365,607.60 typical home value produces a computed gross yield of approximately 14.5%, a figure that only applies to the narrow set of commercially zoned, STR-eligible properties, not to typical residential inventory. Bedroom mix, listing-type split, market-score, and top-operator data are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Ormond Beach, so this profile omits them.

Booking Insights
Guests in the Ormond Beach, FL area book about nine weeks out on average (65.54 days) and stay 5.37 nights, one of the longer average stays in this batch, consistent with extended coastal Florida vacations.
For pricing, the moderate lead time gives operators in the legally eligible commercial-zone segment a reasonable window to set rates ahead of the March and June/July peaks. Given the roughly 2.1x seasonal swing and the September hurricane-season trough, pricing and availability planning should account for both weather-driven demand swings and the fact that legal STR supply here is confined to a small set of commercially zoned properties rather than the broader residential market.
Short-Term Rental Regulations
Ormond Beach effectively bans traditional short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods. The city defines transient lodging as any lease of less than six months and states unambiguously that this use is not permitted, conditional, or a special exception in any residential zoning district. Short-term rentals are legal only in three commercial zoning districts, B-4, B-6, and B-7, where the operator must obtain a local business tax receipt, comply with all Florida transient lodging regulations, and obtain Site Plan Review Committee approval of the location.
This means an investor cannot legally run a nightly or weekly rental of a typical single-family home or condo in a residential zone within Ormond Beach city limits. Rentals of more than six months, long-term leases, are permitted in all residential zones and require no city license. Regardless of zoning, any rental of six months or less must register for and remit taxes: Volusia County’s 6.0% Tourist Development Tax plus Florida’s 6.5% state sales and transient rental tax; Airbnb collects the 6% county TDT for Volusia listings. Enforcement is rated strict. Because the residential prohibition is explicit citywide, prospective STR investors should target commercially zoned parcels specifically, or look to unincorporated Volusia County or other nearby jurisdictions, and should confirm zoning with the city Planning Department before purchasing. No major regulatory change has been identified in the last 24 months; the residential prohibition and the county’s 6% tourist development tax rate both remain in effect as of 2026.
Market Comparison
The Ormond Beach, FL area’s $263.68 ADR runs above the roughly $220 national median ADR, about 20% higher, and its 61.35% occupancy also runs above the commonly cited US short-term rental median of about 55%. That combination points to a market with solid rate and fill performance, though the practical opportunity for new investors is narrower than these figures suggest given the city’s residential STR prohibition.
