In Addition , EVERY Home rented with less than a 6 month signed lease
is also REQUIRED to pay the" Tourism Tax".
This in addition to the 6% State Sales Tax on the Rental.
Be Aware You must have a six month or longer SIGNED lease.
Without the Signed Lease you must pay Sales AND Tourism Tax on the "First" 6 month, regardless if the tenant stays longer
The Home rentals pay a huge amount into the
State Sales Tax and County Tourism Tax Coffers.
The Hotels also pay into this fund.
I think the Total of the taxes is
"Eight % in Marion Co".
"Nine % in Sumter Co".
"Eleven % in Lake County".
