  1. To confirm
    Check that short-term rentals are allowed at your address

    The record has no finding on whether Liberty County allows short-term rentals. Ask the planning or zoning office before you list.

  2. To confirm
    Check whether you need a license or permit

    The record does not say whether Liberty County requires a short-term rental license. Ask the county licensing office.

  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 0% Liberty 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 your returns

    Filing frequency varies by tax liability. The record does not state the due day; the tax office's calendar has it.

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