A Sunrise vacation rental owes about 13% in lodging taxes: a 6% Florida transient rental tax, a 1% Broward discretionary surtax, and Broward County's 6% Tourist Development Tax on stays of six months or less.
Short-term stays in Sunrise carry roughly 13% in combined taxes. Florida imposes a 6% state sales tax on transient rentals of six months or less under Fla. Stat. §212.03, remitted to the Department of Revenue, plus Broward County's 1% discretionary sales surtax. On top of that, Broward County levies a 6% Tourist Development Tax under Fla. Stat. §125.0104 on accommodations rented six months or less, collected by the Broward County Tourist Development Tax section. Stays under a bona fide written lease longer than six months are exempt. Airbnb and Vrbo collect and remit most of these taxes automatically; direct bookings require the host to register and file.
Failing to collect or remit the 6% state tax, the 1% surtax, or the 6% Broward Tourist Development Tax exposes the host to back taxes, penalties, and interest from the Florida Department of Revenue and Broward County.
