Yes, you must pay sales tax if your rentals are for periods of less than six months. Each county has a different rate and different procedures. It can be a minor aggravation, but I suggest you be sure to take care of it. Folks who don't pay are often caught because they advertise their rentals publicly and county officials sometimes examine those advertisements and cross-check them with tax records.
