Why the county matters
Short-term rental rules in Miami-Dade County rarely sit in one place. A home inside an incorporated city usually answers to that city's ordinance, while a home in unincorporated Miami-Dade County answers to the county — often with different licence, inspection and minimum-stay requirements. County-level tourist development tax normally applies either way, on top of state sales tax.
Before buying, confirm two things: which jurisdiction the parcel actually sits in, and whether that jurisdiction caps or zones short-term rentals.

We have not yet verified an official Miami-Dade County ordinance against a primary source, so no rule position is stated here. Always confirm with the county before committing.
Operating costs are modelled at 32% of gross revenue for a nightly rental (cleaning, supplies, utilities, platform fees, maintenance, insurance) and 14% for a monthly rental. Financing assumes a 25% down payment and a 30-year loan at 7%. These are planning assumptions, not quotes — replace them with your own numbers.
