Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Fleming Island, FL

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Fleming Island, FL because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No Fleming Island–specific short-term rental (STR) ordinance or county STR-specific registration/operational standards (zoning districts, occupancy caps, minimum nights, host presence, or platform-registration rules) was found on Fleming Island municipal pages or on Clay County official code and guidance pages. Fleming Island is unincorporated and would be subject to Clay County land development, building, and code-enforcement rules, but the Clay County Code, Clay County Planning & Zoning development code landing page, and Clay County permitting pages do not publish STR-specific rules. Operators should still verify HOA rules, state-level requirements, and any tax-collection obligations. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements. Last verified 2026-05-14.
