Tax on a pad under six months: at least 12.0 percent in Pinellas County

A site rented for six months or less carries the 6 percent state transient rentals tax plus the local option rate of the county the park sits in. St. Petersburg is in Pinellas County, where DR-15TDT lists 6.0 percent, so a pad in Pinellas County carries at least 12.0 percent. DR-15TDT says the local option rate is charged in addition to the 6 percent state sales tax and any applicable county discretionary sales surtax, and that not all counties report rate changes to the Department, so treat the figure as a floor and confirm the surtax with the Florida Department of Revenue.

It is worth knowing which side of a county line you are booking on. The towns around Tampa Bay sit in 3 counties (Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas), and the local rate is not the same in all of them: DR-15TDT lists Hillsborough at 6.0, Pasco at 5.0, Pinellas at 6.0 percent. Two pads at the same price can bill differently. The rate follows the county of the park you book, not the town you search from.

Florida Statutes 212.03(4) gives a guest two routes out of the transient rentals tax. The first is a bona fide written lease for longer than six months for continuous residence, which takes the stay out of the tax from the start. The second is continuous residence longer than six months after paying the tax for the first six months, which exempts the stay from then on.

What none of them publish

Not one park within reach of St. Petersburg states its amperage, whether sewer is at the pad, a monthly rate, or anything about billing an insurer. Those come by telephone, and the numbers are in the table. The Tampa Bay page has the questions worth asking, and each park's own record lists exactly what it leaves unanswered.
