HostReadyUnincorporated Palm Beach County does not impose its own short-term rental permit or registration ordinance, but that does not mean no license is needed. Three other layers apply: a Florida DBPR vacation rental license from the state, a Palm Beach County Business Tax Receipt for each unit, and registration for the county Tourist Development Tax on stays of six months or less. There are no county zoning provisions specifically prohibiting short-term rentals in unincorporated areas, though generally applicable zoning, nuisance, noise, and parking rules still apply, and any parcel inside an incorporated municipality is governed by that city instead. Confirm your parcel is genuinely unincorporated before relying on this.
