    Where to apply

  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
    Collect and remit the 6% Duval County occupancy tax yourself

    The record says booking platforms do not collect it, so you add it to every booking, platform and direct, and pay it to the authority.

  5. To do
    File monthly returns

    The record does not state the due day; the tax office's calendar has it. The record says you file even when a platform collected the tax.
