You need to get a business license from the Florida State and the county that you live in. Then you have collect and pay sale's tax with the State and County every month (even if it is not rented that month). There are large fines/penalties if you don't. It is just like if you were to rent a hotel room - you pay for the room, plus sale's tax.
