Short-term rentals in unincorporated Osceola County, including Four Corners, are highly regulated and only permitted in the designated Short Term Rental Overlay District. Hosts must obtain a state DBPR license, register for state and county taxes, and then secure an annual $250 Vacation Home Rental Operating License from the county. The county license number must be displayed on all listings.
To host an Airbnb in the Four Corners area of Osceola County, your property must be in the specific 'Short Term Rental Overlay District'—check the county zoning map first, as this is non-negotiable. You'll need to get a license from the State of Florida (DBPR) and register for taxes before you can even apply for the required $250 annual Osceola County license. Once you have your county license, you must include the number on your Airbnb listing and post it inside your rental along with contact info and rules. Be aware of the strict occupancy limit of 2 people per bedroom plus 2, up to a maximum of 20 people.
