Listing my Timeshare Week in Florida

[Robert8695]

I want to list my Timeshare Week next year in Palm Beach Shores in Florida. 

AirBNB wants a Tourist Development Tax Account( TDT )  and a Business Tax Receipt ( BTR )  numbers to comply with local laws

This is a 1 time thing for me. Is there any way around this or can I find someone who can List this week for me and take a percentage of the rent ?   Or where else can I list the week and get good Rent ?   

I tried eBay with no results so far

The Terms of Service for the platform require us all to abide by local rules and regulations as this is a business venture. The local regulations may require you to obtain a business license,, collect and remit transient occupancy taxes and have a business insurance policy. Their ordinance regarding short term rentals may have provisions regarding number of occupants, length of stay, noise, parking, neighbor relations and items about public health and safety. Your CC&R's for the building's association may also have regulations regarding this plan. There may also be a provision in the contract to allow you to trade weeks with another owner, making it easier for you to stay at a better time for you. 

Before you were to go ahead with this idea, it would be prudent to (imho) investigate all these angles and consult with your local city hall to make sure your plan stays within legal parameters. 

An ounce of prevention they say, right? 

Best of luck to you, and your creative thinking, do let us all know how it shakes out for you!
