Zoned for Single Family use but Motel/Transient use is permitted?
Collier County Land Development Code
In most Zoning Districts that allow dwelling units, transient lodging
(less than 6 months) is not a use that is listed as a permitted, accessory,
or conditional use in Ordinance 2004-41, as amended, the Collier
County Land Development Code. Therefore, any rentals of less than 6
months in these districts is considered a violation of the Collier County
Prohibited Use Ordinance.

why.

Airbnb Is Crashing the Neighborhood
•There’s a good reason every city has zoning laws.
•Internet companies such as Airbnb and VRBO pay no mind to such
ordinances. They’ve swamped the market in California and elsewhere with
thousands of short-term rental listings, making the rules difficult or
impossible to enforce. These rental sites appeal to home owners who need
additional income. Then the companies use those owners as examples to
coax cities into making short term rentals legal.
•These websites claim that home owners should have the right to do
whatever they want with their property —but that’s a fallacy. When
someone has purchased in a single-family or multifamily zone, they have
accepted the rules of that zoning. They do not have the right to turn their
home into a motel (transient zoning), a restaurant, or a factory to the
detriment of everyone else in that zone.
