Largo hosts must collect 7 percent Florida sales tax, the 6 percent Pinellas Tourist Development Tax, and pay city Business Tax Receipt and Pinellas Certificate of Use fees on each renewal.
Short-term rental owners in Largo must register with the Florida Department of Revenue under Florida Statutes Chapter 212 to collect the 6 percent state sales tax plus the 1 percent Pinellas County discretionary sales surtax. Hosts must also register with the Pinellas County Tax Collector for the 6 percent Tourist Development Tax under F.S. 125.0104, applicable to stays of six months or less. Largo charges an annual Business Tax Receipt fee, and Pinellas County's Certificate of Use program imposes a $150 initial inspection fee, $450 annual renewal, and a $100 re-inspection charge if the unit fails. Fees fund inspections, code enforcement, and the 24/7 STR complaint line for the entire county.
Failure to remit bed tax accrues interest, penalties up to fifty percent of unpaid tax, and may trigger a county tax warrant and lien recorded against the rental property.
