Florida STR tax FAQ

Is there a statewide STR license in Florida?

Yes. Sales tax and any discretionary sales surtax on transient rentals are always reported and paid to the Florida Department of Revenue (Form DR-15), so you need a Department sales tax account. Confirm registration and any county tourist tax account before renting. Local licenses or permits can apply as well; check the published guide for your address.

Does Airbnb collect the state tax?

Local guides show Airbnb collection for each tax and any separate filing or registration requirements.

What's the total tax a guest pays?

It varies by local jurisdiction: the 6% state rate plus each local jurisdiction's own local rate.
