While certain platforms do have agreements with the Florida Department of Revenue to collect and remit the state 6% sales tax and the 1% Manatee County surtax for you, Manatee County does not have such agreements.
In other words, the Manatee County Tax Collector is not contracted with any platform to receive taxes on your behalf. Therefore, it is your responsibility to collect and remit the Manatee County Tourist Tax directly to our department, regardless of the booking method or platform used.
