Generally Investor friendly
West Palm Beach permits STRs citywide, but requires a multi-step city rental license, county BTR/TDT registration, code and fire inspections, and $1M liability insurance with a 24/7 responsible agent—moderate complexity and cost without hard citywide caps, keeping investor risk manageable.
