Also known as the "bed tax" or "resort tax." It's levied on "the rental or lease of living quarters or accommodations for a period of six months or less. This includes rentals in hotels, motels, apartments, vacation homes, and other similar accommodations."

Some politician is sure to propose a Florida entry fee for non-resident visitors, to be collected at airports and all entry points.
