A proposal under consideration in the Florida Legislature would alter the use of local tourist development taxes meant to fund local tourism promotion and projects. This could result in $22.5 billion less in wages to Florida workers and the loss of 682,000 jobs in cities and towns across Florida. Lawmakers should keep local tourist development taxes under local control.

Gwendolyn Smith, innkeeper and the owner/operator of the Grandview Bed and Breakfast in Mount Dora, says in her piece to the Orlando Sentinel that the proposed vacation rental licensing system (included in Florida Senate Bill 280) is a straightforward approach to bring transparency and accountability to the state’s vacation rental marketplace.

A great opinion piece by bed & breakfast innkeeper Pat Inmon about the importance of @GovRonDeSantis signing SB 280 to ensure that unlicensed short-term rental properties are meeting the same basic safety requirements that other hotel and lodging establishments must meet.

#Florida’s 49,000+ vacation rentals could be placing a higher tax burden on taxpayers. @GovRonDeSantis, please sign SB 280 so everyone is required to pay their fair share. #FlaPol
Unlicensed vacation rentals may be costing the state up to $21.3 million in property taxes due to fraudulent homestead exemption claims. @GovRonDeSantis please sign SB 280 to prevent tax evasion.
Unlicensed vacation rentals are not transparent or accountable. @GovRonDeSantis please sign SB 280 into law so there is a level playing field when it comes to Florida’s lodging industry.
Unlicensed vacation rentals are costing the state millions in revenue each year. @GovRonDeSantis , please sign SB 280 which will ensure that these properties collect and remit taxes.
More than 1 in 4 Florida vacation rentals are unlicensed. @GovRonDeSantis, please sign SB 280 and require vacation rentals to report information to the state.
Great article on a letter we sent to the Governor earlier this week encouraging him to sign Senate Bill 280, an act related to vacation rentals.
