Tallahassee STR hosts must collect and remit Florida sales tax (6%), Leon County Tourist Development Tax (5%), and applicable local discretionary surtax. Hosts must display tax registration information in the rental property.
Florida imposes a 6% state sales tax on transient rentals of 6 months or less. Leon County charges a 5% Tourist Development Tax (bed tax) on accommodations. A local discretionary sales surtax may also apply. Hosts must register with the Florida Department of Revenue and Leon County Tax Collector. Airbnb collects and remits Florida state sales tax and some local taxes, but hosts should verify all obligations are met.
Failure to collect or remit occupancy taxes carries penalties of 10% of the unpaid amount per month, plus interest. Operating without tax registration may result in back-tax assessments plus fines.
