I read the article, thanks! I was trying to explain how to set up a lawsuit for free. Maybe just not the right time. When Florida or the counties make a rule would be the right time.

The article does address that all rental properties have to be licensed and collect sales tax as well as tangible taxes, that is not contested. The law they are trying to create is to make certain the taxes actually hit the state coffers.

I would still tend to believe one could report any investor who does not have a license to the department of revenue. The investors are required to pay these taxes and to have a license. Not doing so is illegal. Reporting them would make it uncomfortable for them by adding a cost and fine to their expenses.
