Can you do rental arbitrage in Kissimmee?
Only inside the city's short-term rental overlay. We have 6 Kissimmee homes where the landlord already said yes to Airbnb. The city is the hard part: our guide rates Kissimmee a red light, because the city code bars stays under 30 days in residential districts, with two exceptions tied to its short-term rental overlay. Ask the city whether the address sits inside the overlay before you sign.

Kissimmee's rules for rental arbitrage
Skip Kissimmee unless the unit sits inside the short-term rental overlay or already has an approval that's still in effect. Confirm that with the city before you pay anyone anything.
- Rentals under 30 days are allowed in approved planned unit developments and by conditional use inside the overlay
- The code says it doesn't intend to deny continued use of rentals that were previously approved
- Under 30 days is prohibited in residential districts outside the two exceptions
- Osceola County says it has no contract with booking platforms, so you can't count on them to collect the 6% tourist tax
- 1Ask the city whether the address sits inside the short-term rental overlay or holds an approval still in effect before you sign.
- 2Confirm the address is inside Kissimmee city limits, since an address can say Kissimmee but sit in unincorporated Osceola County.
