Market Overview
Short-term rental performance for Palm Beach Gardens is measured at the Palm Beach County level, so every performance number on this page describes the Palm Beach County STR market. Bedroom, booking channel and listing-type counts are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Palm Beach Gardens, so this profile omits them.

Compared with September 2025, occupancy rose 7.7%, ADR rose 10.7% and revenue rose 8.5%, so the market grew on both price and demand. September is the seasonal low point, so these figures sit below the annual picture.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals of six months or less are legal in Palm Beach Gardens, and no permit cap or ban applies. Operators need several registrations rather than one STR permit. At the state level, a Florida DBPR vacation rental license is required, and hosts must collect state sales tax. At the county level, each listing needs a Palm Beach County Local Business Tax Receipt and a Tourist Development Tax account. The county Tourist Development Tax is 6% on all rents, filed monthly with the Palm Beach County Tax Collector, due the 1st and late after the 20th. The rate has been unchanged since February 1, 2015. At the city level, Palm Beach Gardens requires its own Local Business Tax Receipt under Code Sec. 66-37. Licenses renew annually. County STR licenses run roughly $245 to $1,545 depending on unit and bedroom count, with inspections for smoke and CO detectors, fire extinguishers and HVAC. Occupancy is limited to two people per bedroom plus two, up to 12 people. Florida Sec. 509.032 largely preempts local bans and limits on rental duration or frequency for ordinances adopted after 2011, so there is no cap on nights per year, no owner-occupancy requirement and no primary-residence rule. Enforcement severity is moderate and administrative, through licensing and tax compliance. Palm Beach County reported a new ordinance to tighten oversight in 2024, though no city-specific change was confirmed as of mid-2026. HOA and community rules frequently restrict short-term rentals, so confirm them before buying.
Market Comparison
Seen against its own seasonal range, the Palm Beach County STR market had a soft September 2026, with 52.1% occupancy and a $191 ADR. Both numbers reflect September, the market’s slowest month. Seasonal strength shows the other side: February occupancy of 80.8% and March ADR of $254 sit far above the September levels. Winter months from January through March all run above 67% occupancy. The premium tiers also command higher rates than the $191 all-listings ADR, with professionally managed listings at $250 and luxury listings at $399. Growth is another point in this market’s favor, with occupancy up 7.7%, ADR up 10.7% and revenue up 8.5% year over year. Property-manager data is tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Palm Beach Gardens, so this profile omits it. Investors who want to outperform the county average should target winter demand, golf and resort proximity and professional management, and should be ready for a softer late-summer and early-fall stretch.
