Hillsborough County STR Regulations

Hillsborough County, Florida requires short-term rental operators to obtain a business tax receipt, register with the Florida Department of Revenue for sales tax, and collect and remit Hillsborough County's Tourist Development Tax (TDT). The City of Tampa has additional STR regulations including a Certificate of Use requirement and compliance with neighborhood zoning. Hillsborough County's STR market — particularly in Tampa — is one of Florida's most active, driven by major events at Raymond James Stadium, Amalie Arena, and the Tampa Convention Center. Solside Stays manages all regulatory compliance for Tampa-area properties.
