To host an Airbnb in the City of Daytona Beach, you must first verify that your property is in a zone that allows 'Vacation Rentals' (mostly beachfront and commercial areas). You cannot legally rent out a home for less than 30 days in most standard residential neighborhoods. If you are in a permitted zone, you must get a license from the State of Florida, a tax account from Volusia County, and a local license from the City of Daytona Beach. You will also need to pass a fire safety inspection and maintain $500,000 in liability insurance.
