37. Resort Tax Suspects&Advertising Websites

38. Receiving Tips Resort Tax Evaders Hotline(941) 741-4809

39. We start our Resort Tax suspects by having people submit tips using our anonymous tip hotline. This tip line can be located on our website by the FOR RENT icon or they are able to call and leave a tip on the tip line

40. When a tipster clicks on the Resort Tax Evaders icon on our website it will take them to this screen. This is where they can enter in the information they are wanting to submit.

41. Once a tipster submits a tip we will receive an email showing us the information that was submitted.

42. Other ways to receive tips We also use sources such as; • Craigslist • Vacation Rental Websites • Field Deputy Visits (Park Audits) • Phone Tip Call ins

43. Craigslist

44. We use craigslist to search for vacation rentals in the Manatee County area.

45. Vacation Rental Websites

46. We search the web for vacation rentals in the Manatee County area and check to see if they already have an account with us.

47. Field Deputies (Park Audits) We have field deputies that go out and do park audits to renew park decals. When they arrive on the property they ask to speak to the owner and if the person states that they are a tenant for short term they report it back to us.

48. With the information we receive from the tips we go into our Excise program and search to confirm if they have ANY kind of account. Once we see they do not have a current account we start a suspect account.

49. Creating a Suspect Account

50. We add or reactivate an account in the resort tax system and show it as a Suspect Account using the information we collected from the tip submission.
