Naples
The City of Naples does not require a city-level STR registration or permit and is exempt from Collier County's short-term rental registration ordinance (Ord. 2021-45), but City Code sec. 50-39 restricts single-family homes to rentals of 30 days or longer, allowing rentals of less than 30 days no more than 3 times per calendar year, and prohibits advertising a property as available for rentals of less than 30 days. Operators still need the state DBPR vacation-rental license and must register for and remit the Collier County 5% Tourist Development Tax plus the state 6% transient rental tax (Collier discretionary sales surtax is 0%/None for 2026). City code facts (sec. 50-39, enforcement) were confirmed only via official-source search snippets because naplesgov.com is Akamai bot-wall blocked (HTTP 403 on fetch), so this record is flagged for review.

Grandfathering: The City of Naples 30-day-minimum single-family rental rule is a long-standing local duration/frequency restriction. Under Fla. Stat. 509.032(7)(b), a local law adopted on or before June 1, 2011 is not subject to the state preemption on regulating rental duration/frequency; the City continues to enforce sec. 50-39.
Zoning: City Code sec. 58-3(1) requires all properties to be used or occupied according to all zoning regulations. The 30-day-minimum rental restriction in sec. 50-39 applies to single-family homes; short-term (transient) use in single-family residential zones is limited by that rule.
- Single-family homes: rental terms must be 30 days or longer, except that a property may be rented for less than 30 days no more than 3 times per calendar year (sec. 50-39).
- A property may not be advertised as available for rentals of less than 30 days.
- min_stay_nights=30 reflects the single-family 30-day-minimum floor; the 3-times-per-year exception permits limited shorter rentals.
- No city-level occupancy cap, license cap, or annual-night cap was confirmed from an official source; left null pending firsthand review of naplesgov.com (bot-wall blocked, HTTP 403).
- City of Naples is exempt from Collier County STR registration Ordinance 2021-45.
Enforcement
- Active enforcement
- The City of Naples Code Compliance (Code Enforcement) division handles short-term rental complaints and enforces sec. 50-39 and zoning code sec. 58-3. Specific fine schedules and penalty amounts were not confirmed firsthand because the City's Code Compliance FAQ and STR restriction PDFs are Akamai bot-wall blocked (HTTP 403).

- Notes
- Naples Code Compliance FAQ (naplesgov.com) and the City's 'Short-Term Rental Restrictions' PDF both returned HTTP 403 (Akamai bot wall) on direct fetch; city fine amounts and code-enforcement board procedures could not be quoted verbatim from the official source. (Note: the $500/day figure sometimes cited is Collier County's Ord. 2021-45 penalty, which does not apply inside the City of Naples.) Flagged for firsthand review.
