Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short term rentals are legal in Titusville. Florida state preemption (F.S. 509.032(7)(b)) bars municipalities from prohibiting vacation rentals or regulating their duration or frequency unless a qualifying ordinance existed before June 1, 2011, so there is no nights per year cap, and no owner occupancy or primary residence requirement. Operators need a Florida DBPR Vacation Rental license from the state, required when a property is rented more than three times per year for periods under 30 days, and a Florida Department of Revenue sales tax registration. Locally, hosts generally need a City of Titusville or Brevard County Business Tax Receipt, with the state license obtained first. The permit renewal period is annual, and the permit cost is not published. Brevard County charges a 5% Tourist Development Tax on stays of six months or less, on top of the 7% Florida sales and use tax, for about 12% combined. Recent change: effective October 1, 2025, the Brevard County Tax Collector stopped collecting the Tourist Development Tax, and the Brevard County Clerk of Court now administers and collects it under a July 22, 2025 ordinance ([email protected], 321-637-6530). Zoning, parking, occupancy and noise standards apply by district, and HOA or deed restrictions can limit or prohibit rentals in specific communities. Enforcement severity is rated moderate. A Titusville specific ordinance could not be confirmed from the municipal code, so verify current registration steps with the City of Titusville before buying.
Market Comparison
In September 2026 the Space Coast STR market ran at 50.5% occupancy and a $183 ADR. September is the seasonal trough here, though. Full year 2025 occupancy was 62.2%, and 2026 year to date occupancy is higher at 65.0%, with a year to date ADR of $226. Year over year, occupancy is up 9.8%, ADR is up 5.1% and revenue is up 10.8%, which suggests the market is gaining ground on rate and utilization together. The luxury tier reaches a $335 ADR, while entry costs are moderate, with a typical Titusville home value of $272,395. Top operator data is tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Titusville, so this profile omits it. Investors should underwrite against comparable listings, since this market depends on launch events and nature tourism more than on beach resort demand.
