Palm Beach County TDT Collection by Airbnb?

Palm Beach County Airbnb-ers:  I checked my Airbnb listings this morning and under "Automatic Tax Collection" I now see "Accommodations Tax (Palm Beach)".  Before, it only showed "Sales & Use Tax (Florida)" and "Sales & Use Tax (Palm Beach)".  

Obviously we have been responsible for collecting and remitting TDT tax monthly on our gross earnings.  I called the TDT office and asked if TDT collection and remittance was now being done by Airbnb because it says this on their platform and they laughed at me.  

I chatted Airbnb customer support (since you can no longer get anyone on the phone there), and after a 45 minute conversation still couldn't get a straight answer.  Literally, two back to back messages from them read:

Accommodation Tax and Tourism Development Tax is the same.

TDT Tax is not a collected tax by Airbnb.

I'm pulling my hair out and have already thrown my phone across the room.  Does anyone have any idea what's going on?  I don't want to keep forking over 6% month after month if it's already being collected and remitted by Airbnb.
