How it works

Four steps, and every one is yours to approve.

  1. Step 01 · List

    Sign and set your rules.

    Sign the consent form and set your non-negotiables: rental type (STR, MTR or both), quiet hours, guest caps, insurance minimums and HOA rules. Operators see your terms before they see your address.

  2. Step 02 · Check

    We check the property.

  3. Step 03 · Receive

    Vetted operators send proposals.

    Each proposal shows the operator's business, insurance, track record, offered rent and lease term, side by side.

  4. Step 04 · Approve

    You decide who tours and signs.

    Review the operator's record, approve who tours, and sign a standard lease directly with the one you choose. Or decline every proposal, at no cost.

Jacksonville owner FAQ

Questions Jacksonville owners ask.

Can I rent my Jacksonville property to an Airbnb operator?

Generally yes. Jacksonville has no city STR registration; the rental needs a Florida DBPR license and a Duval County Tax Collector account. Jacksonville Beach is a separate city with its own license.

Who holds the short-term rental permit or registration in Jacksonville?

Jacksonville has no city STR registration. The rental needs a Florida DBPR license and registration with the Duval County Tax Collector; Jacksonville Beach is a separate city with its own license. Put in the lease who applies, who registers for taxes and who files, and ask to see it before the first guest. On ArbiBase you see how taxes, licensing and insurance are handled before you sign.

Can I allow mid-term stays only?

Yes. Set MTR-only (30+ nights) when you list, and operators who can't meet a rule never see the listing. Stays of 30+ nights fall outside state STR licensing, but Florida transient rental tax still applies to stays of six months or less.

Does it cost anything to list my Jacksonville property?

No. Listing is free for property owners. Operators pay for the platform; you never do. You are never obligated to sign, and you can decline every proposal at no cost.

Who signs the lease?

The operator signs a standard lease directly with you. ArbiBase is not a party to the lease, and is not a broker or property manager: we don't collect rent, supervise guests or run operations.

How are operators and listings checked in Jacksonville?

Operators' business registration, insurance, track record and references are verified before they can view your listing. A listing is Verified only after signed owner consent, a Greenlight underwriting pass (estimated revenue at least 1.5x the rent) and a check of Jacksonville and ZIP rules for that address.
