Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are permitted in Port Orange, but a layered set of licenses applies. Florida requires a DBPR vacation rental license, the City of Port Orange requires a short-term rental license, and operators also register with Volusia County for the Tourist Development Tax. The city license is renewed annually. The city license fee was not confirmed from a primary source, so no cost is stated here.
Zoning is the biggest constraint. Short-term rentals are reportedly prohibited in detached residential zoning classifications and permitted only in districts that allow hotels or motels as a principal use, which means commercial and mixed-use zones. This restriction is attributed to Volusia County zoning and may not map exactly onto the City of Port Orange zoning code, so buyers should verify the zoning of any specific property with the city before purchase.
The occupancy tax is 6% (Volusia County Tourist Development Tax). Combined with the 6.5% Florida sales and transient tax, guests pay roughly 12.5% in transient taxes.
Enforcement severity is rated moderate. It runs through city building and code administration, including inspections before issuance and at renewal, and through county code compliance for noise, parking, and nuisance complaints.
No specific Port Orange ordinance change was confirmed in the last 24 months from primary sources. Florida’s statewide preemption framework continues to shape how much cities can regulate, so check the current municipal code before relying on any local detail.
Market Comparison
Port Orange shows a mixed picture that depends on the period measured. In September 2026 occupancy was 39.6% and the $199 ADR, both well below the market’s year to date pace. September is a seasonal low point, so that comparison understates the market.
Over the first nine months of 2026, the market averaged 56.4% occupancy and a $236 ADR, compared with 54.3% occupancy and a $221 ADR for full-year 2025.
Growth is a point in the market’s favor. Year over year in September 2026, occupancy rose 7.5%, ADR rose 4.8%, and revenue rose 6.7%. Seasonality is steep, with monthly occupancy ranging from 41.6% in September to 72.4% in March.
Port Orange is a residential city next to Daytona Beach, so demand draws on regional leisure travelers and nearby beach and motorsports visitors rather than a destination of its own. Zoning limits on where rentals may operate are the main reason to compare carefully before buying.
