Florida Governor Signs SB 118, Changing RV Park Taxation

In Brief

Ron DeSantis signed SB 118, effective April 21. It caps taxable RV site area at 400 sq ft and reclassifies parks as commercial properties, potentially reducing tax burdens for luxury RV parks.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed SB 118, amending the taxation system for RV parks. The law took effect on April 21 (per sources 2 and 3) or April 22 (per source 1).

Key changes

  • Local authorities are prohibited from calculating taxes based on area exceeding actual RV dimensions and from considering occupancy levels.
  • RV parks are now classified as commercial properties rather than residential zones.
  • The law caps the area subject to local special assessments at 400 square feet (37 sq m) per site.

Parks with larger sites, typically luxury-class, are partially exempt from such fees. The Florida Senate estimates this will lead to a "negative and uncertain" reduction in local government revenues starting fiscal year 2026. The measure may indirectly reduce financial burdens on RV park residents.

Florida SB-118 law changes fee structure for RV parks this summer

Governor Ron DeSantis signed SB-118 in April 2025, effective this summer, requiring local governments to change how non-ad valorem assessments are calculated for RV parks. Parks must now be treated as commercial properties like hotels, not permanent housing. Fees are based on actual occupancy and limited to standard RV lot size, preventing charges on oversized spaces.

Campers stuck in trees as flash flooding tears through Missouri

Emergency crews in southeastern Missouri conducted multiple water rescues Friday after heavy thunderstorms dumped up to 9 inches of rain, trapping campers in trees and prompting a request for state mutual aid. The National Weather Service issued a catastrophic flash flood emergency for parts of Iron and Reynolds counties. Several roads, including Missouri Route 21 and Highway K, were closed due to flooding up to 5 feet deep. The Lesterville R-IV School District opened its building as a temporary shelter.
