Miami hotel guests pay roughly 13 percent total tax: Florida state sales tax of 6 percent plus Miami-Dade County Tourist Development Tax (TDT) of 6 percent. Hosts and operators must register with the Florida DOR and Miami-Dade Tax Collector and remit monthly.
Stays of six months or less in Miami hotels, motels, vacation rentals, and Airbnb listings are subject to combined transient occupancy taxes. Florida Department of Revenue collects state sales tax of 6 percent on transient lodging under Sec. 212.03. Miami-Dade County levies a 6 percent Tourist Development Tax (Tourist Development, Convention Development, and Professional Sports Franchise) under Sec. 125.0104, administered by the Miami-Dade Tax Collector. Combined, lodging tax in the city is approximately 13 percent (6 percent state + 6 percent county TDT, plus a small local-option tax in some categories). Operators must register, file monthly returns, and collect at point of sale. Airbnb and Vrbo collect on hosts' behalf but hosts remain liable for compliance.
Failure to register, collect, or remit lodging taxes is fraud under FL Sec. 212.15. Penalties include 10 percent late penalty, statutory interest, and possible criminal prosecution as a third-degree felony for willful evasion above 300 dollars.
