Occupancy Taxes in Bradenton, Manatee County, FL

[Mike3192]

I own a house at Bradenton, Manatee County, FL and have a question about taxes:

As i understand the taxes are 12%.   7% Florida tax, and a County tourist tax of 5%. 

What taxes are collected by airbnb directly from the guest and payed from them directly?  

This website from the county makes it sound like i need to collect from each guest additional??

@Mike3192  According to the Manatee county website you are responsible for collecting and remitting the 5% tax.  Air does remit the state tax of 7%
