Dunedin short-term rental operators must collect Florida 6% sales tax, Pinellas County 6% Tourist Development Tax, and pay an annual city registration fee plus a Business Tax Receipt fee, with all taxes remitted on rentals under six months.
Per Florida Statute 212.03 and Section 125.0104, accommodations rented for six months or less are subject to 6% state sales tax and Pinellas County's 6% Tourist Development Tax (bed tax), totaling 12% in transient rental tax. Dunedin requires an annual Vacation Rental Registration under Section 103-14.7 with associated city fees, plus a Business Tax Receipt under Chapter 22. Operators register with the Florida Department of Revenue and the Pinellas County Tax Collector. Failure to collect or remit taxes can result in state-level penalties separate from city enforcement.
Unpaid Tourist Development Tax can trigger county audits, penalties, and interest. Operating without a Business Tax Receipt incurs city code enforcement fines.
