Why do rental rules depend on the town and address?
A rule that applies in one beach community may not apply in another, and zoning can matter within a town. For example, St. Pete Beach allows rentals of one month or more in all residences, while its rules limit shorter transient occupancy in many districts. Treasure Island distinguishes among zoning districts, too.
Read the guide for the place where the property sits, then confirm current requirements with that town. For a separate Florida rental-law reference, see the linked resource.

How are rental permission and taxes different?
Town rules determine whether a rental use is allowed at a property; tax responsibilities are a separate question. The Pinellas County Tourist Development Tax is 6% of the total rental amount. Pinellas County also has 7% sales and use tax collected by the Florida Department of Revenue, for a stated combined total of 13%. These tax figures do not establish local rental permission.
Check whether your rental platform collects and pays the required Tourist Development Tax. The Pinellas County Tax Collector says owners are responsible for paying it if the platform does not. Review the Pinellas County tax guidance and the Florida sales tax guidance for tax details.
