Zoning & Conditions

Short-term (tourist) rentals are properties rented or advertised for stays of less than one month and occurring more than three times in a 12‑month period; they are permitted only where specifically listed in Gulfport’s zoning code (some zoning districts allow STRs by right, others only via conditional use approval). Property eligibility must be confirmed via the city zoning designation and staff determination—the city’s zoning map is a guide but the adopted code and city records control.
