License & regulation

Risk: mediumLicense requiredRegistration required

Florida pre-empts STR bans at the state level but lets cities require registration. Miami Beach is highly restrictive (banned in most residential zones, fines $20K+). Mainland Miami zones vary — confirm zoning before purchase.

Worst case
Miami Beach-style zoning could spread to mainland Miami districts.
