Tourist tax filing reminder

Florida sales and transient rental tax returns are due the 1st and late after the 20th of the month after the reporting period (FL DOR). Many counties collect their own tourist tax on their own schedule; see your city page.

Free pages show the general rule. Does your address qualify?

Property tax is one piece. Short-term rental hosts may also need a state license, a local permit and several tourist tax accounts. We list the ones your property needs.

Your $49 Compliance Check looks at your exact property:

Whether your exact address and zone allow short-term rentals
A check of HOA / condo rental restrictions to look for
Which permits and tax accounts you personally need
What you're missing right now
A personal report with clear next steps and official sources, by email
A refund if we report a rule in error (refund policy)
