View Orlando market analysis →The Surge Take: Astor
Astor scores 87.0/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #19 of 46 Orlando-area submarkets we track. That's mid-pack for the Orlando market: not a headline submarket, but often where value hides — mid-tier areas typically have lower acquisition costs and less STR competition than the trophy neighborhoods. The average listing here grosses $30,297/year — about 40% below the Orlando metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $194 average daily rate at 50% occupancy (RevPAR $83). That's a healthy mid-market ADR — the sweet spot for durable demand from both leisure and work travel. As a suburban submarket, demand skews toward families, relocations, and medical or project stays — larger homes tend to outperform.

Orlando STR Regulations
Regulatory environment for short-term rental investors
The Orlando market is two rule books. Inside City of Orlando limits, whole-home short-term rentals are classified as Commercial Dwelling Units and prohibited in residential zoning; since July 1, 2018 the city allows only owner-occupied home sharing with an annual registration. The whole-home vacation rental market that this page's data reflects sits mostly in unincorporated Osceola County (Kissimmee, ChampionsGate, Reunion, Storey Lake, Windsor Hills), where short-term rentals are allowed inside the county's rental overlay with a state license, a county business tax receipt, and self-remitted tourist tax. The exact parcel, county, and overlay decide whether a home can rent at all.
- Every Florida vacation rental (a home, condo, or 1 to 4 unit dwelling rented more than three times a year for stays under 30 days, or advertised as regularly rented) must hold a Division of Hotels and Restaurants license from the Florida DBPR before operating.
- Fees: $50 application (new or change of owner), $10 Hospitality Education Program fee, $170 per year for a single unit or $180 for a group of 2 to 25 units. Collective licenses run $150 plus $10 per unit.
- This market is in DBPR District 4 (Orlando), which renews annually on April 1.
- DBPR inspections are complaint-driven rather than routine. Units must meet NFPA 101 life safety requirements, including smoke detectors in every unit, and buildings of three stories or more must file a balcony inspection certificate every three years.
- Florida law (F.S. 509.032) preempts local governments from banning vacation rentals or regulating how often or how long they rent, unless the local rule was adopted on or before June 1, 2011. Registration, inspection, noise, parking, and trash rules remain local.

- Whole-property short-term rentals are classified as Commercial Dwelling Units, which are limited to certain non-residential zoning districts and require a Business Tax Receipt.
- Home sharing (effective July 1, 2018, Ch. 58 Part 5B(19) of the Land Development Code) lets a resident rent part of the home: the registrant must live on site and be present during stays, host one booking at a time, and rent no more than 50% of the property (one bedroom in a three-bedroom home, two in a four-bedroom).
- Home sharing registration is annual: $275 the first year, $125 on renewal, with two proofs of residency and an HOA approval letter where an association exists.
- The city's Zoning Portal (digitalpermits.orlando.gov) shows whether Home Share or Commercial Dwelling Unit use is allowed for a given address.

- Unincorporated Osceola County permits short-term rentals in areas covered by its Short Term Rental overlay, including the STRPD (Short Term Rental Planned Development) district and established resort communities. Verify the overlay map for the exact parcel before buying.
- Required: a Florida DBPR vacation rental license, an Osceola County Local Business Tax Receipt ($30 per year, renewed July 1 to September 30), and an Osceola County Tourist Development Tax account ($5 application fee).
- Properties inside City of Kissimmee limits also need a separate city Business Tax Receipt, which expires September 30 each year.
- Windsor Hills, Reunion, ChampionsGate, Storey Lake, Solara, and Encore are in unincorporated Osceola County (ZIP 34746 and 34747). Davenport addresses can fall in Polk County, which has its own 5% TDT and tax collector.

- Florida state sales tax on transient rentals: 6%.
- County discretionary sales surtax: 1.5% in Osceola County, 0.5% in Orange County, 1% in Polk County.
- Tourist Development Tax: 6% in Osceola County (since July 1, 2004), 6% in Orange County, 5% in Polk County, each collected by the county rather than the state.
- Osceola County is not contracted with Airbnb, Vrbo, or any other platform, so owners must register and remit the 6% TDT themselves. New accounts file monthly for the first year, due the 20th of the following month.
- Airbnb collects and remits the 6% state tax and county surtax on Florida bookings.

- Florida's preemption limits cities and counties, not private associations. Many Orlando area subdivisions restrict rentals under 30 days or six months.
- Resort communities built for vacation rental (ChampionsGate, Reunion, Windsor Hills, Storey Lake, Solara, Encore) allow it by design and typically carry HOA dues and CDD assessments that must be underwritten.
- The City of Orlando requires an HOA approval letter as part of home sharing registration.
