Short-term rentals (stays of less than 31 days) are strictly prohibited in the City of Clearwater's residential zoning districts. The city actively enforces this ban with daily fines of $250 or more for illegal transient use. Rentals are only permitted in specific tourist-heavy districts where 'Transient Accommodations' are an explicitly allowed use.
