Avalara for Lodging Tax

[Yoko Hankins]

Hi Everyone!

Thanks to @Lake Lutes and @Raymond J. Rodrigues, my husband and I are closing on our first STR property in FL in 2 weeks. We are very excited for our new chapter!

I have a question for the STR owners in FL. Does anyone use Avalara (MyLodgeTax) for your lodging tax? Since we are new to this, I am thinking about using it for the first 6 months or so, just to take one task off my plate and to learn from the filing Avalara prepares for me. If anybody uses Avalara, would you share your experience and also let me know if you think it's worth the money?

Yes the service they provide is worth it. I just sold a Florida condo and Airbnb did not collect all taxes.
