Brandon short-term rental hosts must collect and remit the 6% Florida Transient Rental Tax, 2.5% Florida Discretionary Sales Surtax, and 6% Hillsborough County Tourist Development Tax on every booking of six months or less.
The Hillsborough County Tax Collector administers the 6% TDT, which is reported monthly. Airbnb and Vrbo collect and remit state-level sales tax automatically, but the County TDT must be confirmed — direct bookings always require host remittance. Late filings carry a 10% penalty plus interest under Florida Statute §125.0104.
Failure to register and remit TDT carries penalties up to $5,000 and possible Tax Collector lien; willful evasion is a third-degree felony under §212.15.
