Levy County, FL vacation rental rules and taxes

Levy County’s 4% tourist tax is collected by the Florida Department of Revenue; Airbnb collects it on its bookings. State sales tax is 7% (6% plus the 1% surtax). Neither the county nor Cedar Key regulates vacation rentals; Yankeetown treats converting a home to vacation rental use as development.
