If you live near or next door to a short term rental, then no doubt you know about the parking, NOISE, and other related issues. It is maddening. Yes, tourism is important to the local economy but when the house next to you resembles a frat house, it's reasonable to be able to implement pragmatic rules that respect the locals.
There are two bills in the 2017 legislative session that will offer less or more control to the local cities/counties. Source article: The Fight Over Short Term Rentals - Two Competing Bills Could Change the Short Term Rental Landscape in Florida - Lexology
SB 188 would take away local control and allow the state to write the rules for short term vacation rentals. Senate Bill 0188 (2017) - The Florida Senate
Encourage your State Senator, Senator Gainer, to vote NO on this bill. Senator Gainer - The Florida Senate
House Bill 6003 would ALLOW local counties/cities to write rules unique to their local area. House Bill 6003 (2017) - The Florida Senate
Representative Brad Drake represents Walton County: Florida House of Representatives - Brad Drake - 2016 - 2018 ( Speaker Corcoran )
Thank you.
