Florida imposes a 6% state sales tax plus county discretionary surtax (0.5 to 1.5%) on all transient rentals under 6 months. Each county also levies a Tourist Development Tax (TDT) of 5 to 6%. Total tax burden is typically 11 to 13% depending on county. Platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo) collect and remit state sales tax and most county TDT automatically. Direct bookings require registration with FL Department of Revenue (state) and county tax collector (TDT). Filing is monthly or quarterly based on volume.
Non-remittance: penalty + interest per FL DOR. Tax evasion: criminal penalties. County TDT audit by tax collector.
