What makes St. Petersburg different
Owners buy in St. Pete expecting Gulf-coast nightly rates and then discover the three-rentals-a-year cap. The realistic strategies here are 30-day-plus mid-term tenancies, a property inside the Resort Facilities Overlay, or a licensed hotel-classified building. We will tell you which of those a specific address can support before you commit.
The city rule is separate from unincorporated Pinellas County, which since August 2025 runs its own Certificate of Use programme. Aggregator sites routinely mix the two up. We read the city handout and the county ordinance as different instruments and treat them separately.
