Property management in Lantana

A small town with a short-stay line drawn in the code.

Lantana is a small coastal town in southern Palm Beach County, set along the Intracoastal with a slice of oceanfront on the barrier island. Most of the housing is on the mainland: single-family homes on quiet residential streets, duplexes and small apartment buildings, and condos near the water and on Hypoluxo Island. It feels more like a small town than a resort, and the rental market follows: steady demand from people who work nearby, retirees who come for the winter and families who want to be close to the water without paying island prices.

The town is unusually clear about short stays. Its code bans rentals of 30 days or less in single-family houses in the R-1 and R-1A zoning districts, so a home in those districts is a long-term or seasonal rental, not a nightly one. Outside those districts, short stays may be possible, but every residential rental needs a town business tax receipt, and the town asks landlords to file a rental information card before it issues one. We check the zoning of your lot before we recommend a plan, and we keep the town and county paperwork current every year.

Condos follow their association first. Many buildings near the water set their own minimum lease terms and approval steps, and those documents decide what is possible long before the town does. Where short stays are allowed, Palm Beach County stacks its own requirements on top of the state license: every unit needs a county short-term rental business tax receipt, and tourist tax is filed monthly.

For most Lantana owners, the steady play is a well-screened annual or seasonal lease. We handle the town and county paperwork, tenant screening, rent collection and upkeep, and report every unit in the same owner app we use across South Florida. Older homes here often need regular attention to roofs, plumbing and storm protection, so we schedule inspections between tenants and keep a record of every repair.
