Always advertise rental as including tax but show rent and tax separately on the rental agreement
We also do the monthly coupon route. We were told by the state of Florida it is easier for the owner of the property and also the county, if funds are paid directly to the state and they distribute the fund to individual county's. Less room for error as well.
