4. I exclusively rent my property online. I have heard that some rental platforms remit the taxes on my behalf. Is this true?

While there are certain platforms that have agreements in place with the FL Dept. of Revenue to receive the state & local sales tax directly from the platform for you, Walton County has no such agreements. In other words, the Walton Co. Clerk of Court & Co. Comptroller is NOT contracted with ANY platform to receive taxes on your behalf. Therefore, it is your responsibility to collect & remit any Walton Co. TDT to our department regardless of booking method or platform used to secure the rental & obtain the rental revenue.
