Pinellas Park STR operators must collect Florida sales tax and Pinellas County's 6% Tourist Development Tax on stays of six months or less, and remit them to the appropriate state and county authorities.
Florida Statute 212.03 requires the state's 6% transient rentals tax plus discretionary county sales surtax on lodging stays of six months or less. In addition, Pinellas County imposes a 6% Tourist Development Tax (TDT) on the same stays, which hosts file via the Pinellas County Tax Collector's TouristExpress portal. Platforms like Airbnb and VRBO collect some taxes automatically, but operators are ultimately responsible for confirming all sales, surtax, and TDT obligations are collected and remitted. Failure to register and file can result in penalties, interest, and revocation of the DBPR vacation rental license.
Unpaid tourist development or sales taxes can result in penalties, interest, audit assessments, and DBPR license action against the operator.
