Collier County
short-term rental taxes.

1. No action
   Short-term rentals are allowed in Collier County

   Naples, Marco Island & Everglades City exempt from county ordinance but have own city registration rules.

2. To do
   Get the Collier County short-term rental license or registration

   The record does not state the fee or term. The licensing office lists both. Rule: Ord. 2021-45.

3. To do
   Register for your Florida sales tax account

   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.

4. To do
   Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com collect the 5% Collier County occupancy tax for you

   That is per the record. On direct bookings, you collect and remit it yourself.

5. To do
   File monthly returns for direct bookings

   The record does not state the due day; the tax office's calendar has it. If every booking goes through a collecting platform, ask the tax office whether you still file.

Verify each step with the authority before you file or apply. Source
