That would nearly quadruple property taxes for an estimated 24,000 short-term rental properties in the state. The property tax assessment rate for lodging properties in 2023 is 27.9%. For residential properties, it was set at 6.765%.
Here’s an article on the bill
Colorado legislature will introduce bill hiking taxes for short-term rental properties | VailDaily.com
Could this be done in FLA at the county level? |
Probably not. Essentially, Florida law prohibits counties from treating STR's any differently than traditional residential homes.
That's a bit of an over simplification, but basically the situation in my opinion.
Sounds like a great idea, but the Florida legislature would never go for it. "Rentals" are what runs the Florida's economy.
