The City of Naples requires an annual registration for short-term rentals, defined as renting more than three times a year for less than 30 days. Hosts must also obtain a state DBPR license and register for county and state taxes. Regulations focus on life safety postings, occupancy limits (2 per bedroom + 2, max 12), and ensuring a local responsible party is available 24/7.
To host an Airbnb in Naples, you must get three things in order: a state license from the DBPR, a tax account with Collier County, and an annual $50 registration with the City of Naples. Your rental must have specific safety information posted inside, including an exit diagram and a 24/7 local contact. Be aware of the strict occupancy limit of 2 people per bedroom plus 2 extra, up to a maximum of 12 guests. Finally, you must include your city registration number in all your online listings and advertisements.
