Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Nokomis, FL

Airbnb listings are allowed in Nokomis, FL, but with restrictions. Sarasota County’s Unified Development Code requires all leases to be at least 30 days for most residential zoning districts; short-term rentals (leases < 30 days) are allowed only for properties zoned RMF (Residential Multi-Family) located on the County’s barrier islands (explicitly: Siesta Key, Casey Key and Manasota Key). The county guidance does not state occupancy limits, primary-residence requirements, nightly minimums, host-presence rules, or platform-registration rules for unincorporated areas outside the barrier-island RMF exception. These rules apply to all short-term rental platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, etc.) — not just Airbnb specifically. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements.
