Collier County levies a 5% Tourist Development Tax on the rent for any accommodation rented for six months or less (Ordinance 2017-35). Owners collect it and remit it to the Collier County Tax Collector. Florida's 6% state sales tax also applies, for about 11% total.
Under FS 125.0104, every person who rents living quarters or accommodations for a term of six months or less is exercising a taxable privilege. Collier County Ordinance 2017-35 sets the local Tourist Development Tax at 5% of the total rental consideration. The property owner is responsible for collecting the 5% from guests and remitting it to the Collier County Tax Collector, in addition to the 6% Florida sales and use tax owed to the Department of Revenue, bringing the combined rate to roughly 11%. STR owners must open a Tourist Development Tax account with the Tax Collector as part of registration.
Failing to collect or remit tourist tax exposes the owner to back taxes, penalties, and interest assessed by the Collier County Tax Collector.
