Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are legal in Palm Beach Gardens, but operators need to secure several registrations rather than a single STR permit. Requirements include a City of Palm Beach Gardens Local Business Tax Receipt (Code Sec. 66-37), a Palm Beach County Local Business Tax Receipt, a county Tourist Development Tax (TDT) account, and a Florida DBPR vacation rental license at the state level. County STR license costs run roughly $245 to $1,545 depending on unit and bedroom count, per the county’s published schedule, and renewal is annual.
Occupancy tax is 6.0%, collected and remitted monthly to the Palm Beach County Tax Collector (due the 1st, late after the 20th). Florida’s 2011 state preemption (Sec. 509.032) blocks local governments from banning short-term rentals or capping rental duration or frequency for ordinances adopted after that date, so there is no maximum-nights-per-year cap, no owner-occupancy requirement, and no primary-residence requirement in Palm Beach Gardens. County occupancy limits apply (two persons per bedroom plus two, up to 12 people total).
Enforcement is characterized as moderate, administered through licensing and TDT compliance rather than aggressive code action. Palm Beach County has reportedly moved to tighten STR oversight since 2024, though the countywide 6% TDT rate has been unchanged since February 2015, and no Palm Beach Gardens-specific ordinance change was confirmed as of this writing. Because this is a heavily deed-restricted, gated-community market, investors should independently verify HOA rules, which frequently restrict or prohibit short-term rentals even where city and county regulations allow them.
Market Comparison
Palm Beach Gardens outperforms typical U.S. short-term rental benchmarks on both key metrics. At 60.3% occupancy, the market runs about 5.3 percentage points above the roughly 55% national median. Average daily rate of $240.95 sits about 9.5% above the roughly $220 national median ADR, reflecting the area’s upscale golf-resort positioning.
Among property managers, Evolve leads the market with 113 active listings (1.4% of the area’s 8,171 total listings) and 3,744 reviews at a 4.61 average rating. Brampton Park ranks second with 63 listings and the highest guest satisfaction among top operators at a 4.945 average rating across 1,378 reviews. Easy Air Rentals rounds out the top three with 59 listings, 3,315 reviews, and a 4.855 rating. No single operator controls a large share of the market: the top five combined operators hold 339 listings, about 4.1% of total inventory, indicating a fragmented market dominated by independent and smaller operators rather than large institutional property managers.
