"Is it necessary to file form DR-405 (FL Tangible Tax Return) if I purchased a condo in Florida in 2017."

If you use tangible personal property in connection with your rental (e.g., furnishings), then you may have to establish an account with the county property appraiser and then file a Form DR-405 to report that personal property. Regardless, you might want to contact your county property appraiser for further, definitive, information (see link below).
