Getting approved for short term rentals in Miami Beach

[Ray161]

I own a multifamily in Miami Beach that is in a zone that is not permitted for short term rentals. Can I apply to become a legal short term rental?

Or is this application only for properties that are already in allowed zones? And if not, is there any way to get a property approved for short term rentals, or am I out of luck? I own the whole building, so there is no HOA, but I only want to do it legally.

Thanks!

Hi Ray,

Your first quest is to find out if you're in a commercial zone. If you are then your next quest is to convert it to legal short-term rental building. The second portion is easier than the first because it depends on work done by you.  I have limited experience with conversions but I'd be happy to talk further and see if I can help.
