Miami and surrounding municipalities are joining a growing list of cities around the U.S. to institute more strict regulations on short-term home rentals like Airbnb. City officials for Miami Beach enacted a law in effect as of Sept. 22 that would require online short-term rental platforms to post the city-issued tax receipt number and resort tax registration ID for all available rentals. Miami Beach already requires any property owner renting out their residence for fewer than six months to register with the city and obtain these licenses, as well as pay associated fees and taxes. Short-term rentals are also only permitted in a certain stretch of South Beach.

Palm Beach County may follow suit with similar measures that were proposed in a recent meeting of county commissioners. According to The Real Deal Miami, the plans already have earned preliminary approval and mirror those in place in Miami Beach. Airbnb and some homeowners who earn income under the service generally don’t support the rules as they would increase compliance costs and make it harder to list rentals.
