Summary of the rule
City of Doral Code § 5-271, per the City's official Short-Term Vacation Rental Ordinance FAQ: a registration and Certificate of Use are required to legally operate a short-term/vacation rental. 'Yes, but a registration is required for each rental period. There are no more than 3 registrations issued per property within a 12 month period.' The ordinance applies to 'single-family, two family, multi-family, and townhouse dwelling unit' rentals; minimum/maximum stay is 'Not less than seven days to no more than six months.' Whole-home rental is permitted citywide subject to registration/CU — the operative device is a permit process, not a residential exclusion.

A city permit is not the whole picture — HOA, condominium, deed, or lease rules may be stricter.
City Watch provides good-faith summaries of publicly available information as of the review date shown. Rules, enforcement, and permit availability can change, and summaries may contain errors or omissions. Ratings describe the general regulatory environment; they do not establish whether a particular property or stay is permitted. This is general information, not legal advice. Before buying, listing, or hosting, verify applicable requirements with the responsible authorities and review any HOA, condominium, deed, or lease restrictions.
