Did you know vacation rental guests in Orange County help pay for local landmarks? County commissioners just approved a plan to spend nearly $800 million in tourist tax money on 13 projects, including $350 million for the Dr. Phillips Center. The tax is 6% on hotel and vacation rental stays, so every booking helps our community! Find out more ways that vacation rentals help support your local community in various ways.

Good afternoon, FAVR members

Many of you have written to us about the new policies Airbnb has rolled out to the vacation rental industry. We’ve heard every concern and every worry, and we’ve also heard from members who support some of the changes. Some of you have asked why FAVR hasn’t put out a statement yet.

Why we haven’t issued a statement
FAVR has represented this industry for more than 32 years. We don’t rush to judgment or put out half-finished statements. Before we speak publicly, we talk with every party involved and gather the facts and legal opinions. An issue this important needs careful work, not a debate on social media and forums.

What we’ve been doing
Much of FAVR’s policy work happens behind the scenes. Not a day has gone by without us working on this issue and a dozen more. We’ve been talking with all stakeholders, elected officials, legislators, and state and local agencies, among others. Advocacy is a marathon, not a sprint. Lasting change comes from people who roll up their sleeves and keep the conversation going, not from whoever posts first or gets the most likes.

What’s next for FAVR Members
November 10: Member legal briefing. Our legal counsel will brief all FAVR members on the policy changes. Registration details will follow in a separate email.
January 2027: Florida Legislative Session. Session starts at the State Capitol in January. This is another major focus for FAVR’s advocacy efforts. Who knows what’s in store for our industry or our community.
FAVR Advocacy and engagement is every day statewide. Get involved today.

How you can help
If you aren’t a member yet, please join FAVR. If you are, please get involved. Vacation rental advocacy works best when we work together.

Thank you for your continued support.
Denis Hanks
Executive Director, FAVR
