Florida HB 1011 (2024) and Miami-Dade Ordinance 14-77 require Airbnb, Vrbo, and similar platforms to verify host registration numbers, collect and remit taxes where contracted, and remove listings the county identifies as unlicensed or revoked.
Florida HB 1011, effective January 2025, modernized §509.032 to impose duties on advertising platforms. Listings must display a valid state DBPR vacation-rental license number and the local registration number where required. Platforms must remove non-compliant listings within fifteen business days of county notice. Miami-Dade contracts with Airbnb to collect the 6% Tourist Development Tax at booking, but hosts remain liable for the remaining bed-tax components and any sales tax shortfall. Hosts cannot offload liability to platforms; they remain the primary party responsible for compliance, occupancy enforcement, and noise.
Failure to display required license numbers exposes hosts to county fines and state license suspension; platforms face state penalties for non-removal of flagged listings.
