Beaches, golf, the Wellington equestrian season, SunFest, and a heavy snowbird influx drive a strong winter-through-spring market — West Palm Beach alone runs around a $189 average nightly rate and roughly 67% occupancy.

Market snapshot
What the Palm Beach County short-term rental market looks like.
Rules differ dramatically by municipality. The single most important question here is which town or unincorporated area the home sits in — it determines whether short-term rental is even possible.
Rates and occupancy climb sharply December through April as northern visitors arrive, then ease through the summer.
Rules & taxes
The local rules that decide what you can run.
This is where most Palm Beach County owners get tripped up. Here is the short version. It is general guidance, not legal advice, and we help you confirm the current details before you list.
Unincorporated county is friendlier
Unincorporated Palm Beach County has no specific zoning ban on short-term rentals — you set up a Tourist Development Tax account, a Business Tax Receipt per property, and collect the 6% county tourist tax.
West Palm Beach
Most residential areas of West Palm Beach carry a six-month-plus minimum, so short-term renting is generally limited to transient-zoned or commercial districts.
Some towns ban or limit it
The Town of Palm Beach prohibits short-term rentals outright; Lake Worth Beach sets a 60-day minimum; Boca Raton and Delray Beach each have their own rules. We confirm by address.
HOAs & condos
Florida law lets condo and homeowner associations restrict or ban short-term rental — association documents can be stricter than the town, so they have to be checked too.
Submarkets
Demand isn’t the same across Palm Beach County.
West Palm Beach (downtown & waterfront)
Events, business, and arts demand; short-term rental works mainly in transient-zoned and commercial areas.
Boca Raton & Delray Beach
Upscale coastal markets, each with its own local rules to verify.
Wellington
Equestrian-season demand that peaks hard in winter and spring.
Coastal towns
Several restrict or prohibit short-term rental entirely — verification matters most here.
Management focus
How we run a Palm Beach County home.
Pricing to the calendar

Guest communication
Fast, organized messaging with the arrival, access, and local details guests expect, so questions get answered and reviews stay high.
Turnovers & home care
Cleaning, inspection, and restocking on a consistent system, so the home is genuinely ready every time and small issues get caught early.
Compliance kept clean
Licensing, registration, zoning, and tax collection handled and documented from the start, so a profitable listing doesn’t become a code or tax problem later.

Common questions
What Palm Beach County owners usually ask before handing off management.
Is short-term rental allowed in Palm Beach County?
It depends entirely on the municipality. Unincorporated county areas are relatively open with a tax account and business tax receipt; West Palm Beach limits most residential rentals to six months and a day; and the Town of Palm Beach bans them outright. We confirm what your address allows. (General information, not legal advice.)
What taxes and registrations apply?
In unincorporated areas, a Tourist Development Tax account and a Business Tax Receipt per property, plus collecting the 6% county tourist tax and state sales tax. Cities add their own requirements. We help set this up.
When is peak season in Palm Beach County?
December through April is strongest — snowbirds, golf, and the equestrian and event season — with summer the softest. We price to that swing.
Do you work with single-home owners in Palm Beach County?
Yes — single homes as well as owners building a portfolio across Palm Beach County.
