Short Term Rental Business License
This license is required if your rental property is in unincorporated Gulf County. If your rental property is within the City of Port St. Joe or the City of Wewahitchka limits, you are exempt from the license. We do not verify if your home is exempt. BEFORE you apply for the Short Term Rental License, please research and verify that your home is in unincorporated Gulf County. Refunds are not given for any work that has been done and paid for in the Short Term Rental License process.
