5. My rentals are handled by a property management company. What are my Tourist Development Tax responsibilities?

If your property management company is collecting and remitting tax for ALL of your property’s rentals under their Tourist Development Tax ID management registration with our office, you are not required to file your own returns (although you may still need to register with the FL Dept. of Revenue). However, please be aware that, under Florida law, property owners are ultimately responsible for sales taxes if a property manager defaults or fails to collect or remit the tax. If you ever personally collect rental revenue or any other form of compensation (just the cleaning fee from friends/family, gifts or services as rental consideration, etc.), you must collect and remit the taxes for those stays which will require your own registration with our office. We allow multiple registrations for the same parcel/property for this reason.
