Sales Tax
Florida’s 6% state tax on transient rental charges.
Why you care
It is one of three separate taxes on one guest payment, remitted to the state Department of Revenue — a different agency from the county that collects your tourist tax.
Worked example
6% of the taxable rental charge, which includes the cleaning fee. Platforms usually remit this one, which is why owners assume they remit all of them.
